Paul McCartney, how I absolutely adore you for writing this song. Frankly, I’ve given up on the sentiment, but still find your song strangely soothing and almost wistful that I hadn’t given up on your lovely sentiment.
And quick, at 1:38, is that…RINGO STARR? And God knows who else I just don’t recognize…
Plus, the ubiquitous Linda McCartney? I have always loved her for some reason.
Plus the London cityscape? Without question, one of my very favorite things in the world.
I can wait another day until I call you
You’ve only got my heart on a string and everything a flutter
But another lonley night (and another, and another)
Might take forever (and another, and another)
We’ve only got each other to blame
It’s all the same to me love
’cause I know what I feel to be right
No more lonely nights
No more lonely nights
You’re my guiding light
Day or night I’m always thereMay I never miss the thrill of being near you
And if it takes a couple of years
To turn your tears to laughter
I will do what I feel to be rightNo more lonely nights
Never be another
No more lonely nights
You’re my guiding light
Day or night I’m always there
And I won’t go away until you tell me so
No I’ll never go awayYes I know what I feel to be right
No more lonely nights
Never be another
No more lonely nights
You’re my guiding light
Day or night I’m always there
And I won’t go away until you tell me so
No I’ll never go away
I won’t go away until you tell me so
No I’ll never go away
No more lonely nights, no no …© Paul McCartney, 1984
