"Each and Every Day"

I recently listened to Live at the BBC 66-69 again, and I noticed that - perhaps just coincidentally - there's some lyrical resemblance between "Each and Every Day" and the Beatles' "Good Day Sunshine."  Here's the second verse of "Each and Every Day":
She looks good, feels good
Walkin' down the street, ev'ryone we meet says we should
Go a long, long way and should always stay in love
Each and ev'ry day
(I'm still not sure if I have the line breaks in the right places.)

The Beatles' song contains the similar line "She feels good; she knows she's looking fine."  It also describes a walk:  "We take a walk; the sun is shining down / Burns my feet as they touch the ground."  (I think that in a strict grammatical reading, however, the participial "walkin' down the street" in "Each and Every Day" actually modifies "ev'ryone.")
