She says that John did talk about a possible Beatles reunion: "He would talk about it with Harry Nilsson. But the main thing he talked about was that he did want to write with Paul again. He talked about it a lot."
May says he did often refer to Liverpool: "He liked rivers and would talk about The Mersey. He wanted Aunt Mimi to come and stay and wanted me to fix it. It never happened, but I was like a little 'miss fixit' for him."
After the Lennon affair, May went on to marry producer Tony Visconti with whom she had two children before they split.
She also flirted with film and television, appearing in the movies Heartburn and Fatal Attraction. Today the self-termed "single mom" has her own brand of fashion jewellery called the May Pang Feng Shui Jewelry Collection and is working on a radio show called May Pang Remembers.
And this isn't the only Liverpool trip she will make this year: May is now planning a return to the city sometime in August. She hopes to attend the Beatles convention and she is also planning a photographic exhibition of her own photos and memories of John Lennon.
May says she still feels John's presence around her. So what does she think he would be doing now had he not been assassinated on that fateful night in 1980?
"When he was in the apartment he would have this huge yellow pad of paper and a pen and he would always have it around. He was so funny always jotting things down.
"I think he would have loved to have had a studio at home - one where he didn't have to leave the building but where he could go and make music.
"I am sure he would be doing that. I can still see that pad and his very clever ideas on paper.
"And, you know, I can see him walking in the park and signing autographs. He loved doing that for fans and you should have seen the reaction on their faces when it said: 'With Love from John'"
