The Loveliest Thing Lyrics


One, twoTo me you are the loveliest thing I've seen all day
You can't take that away, no, you can't take that away
All my life, I wondered why it couldn't be this way
That was up until today, oh, it had to be this wayToday, wait until the morning comes
Before you slip away
Without permission, without suspicion
Without permission givenYou seem to have a friendlier smile than all the rest
Well, I looked and you were best, yeah, I looked at all the rest
You can't imagine passionate words that I would say
If only you would stay, oh, you know you gotta stayAnd today, wait until the morning comes
Before you slip away
Without permission, above suspicion
Without permission givenYou used to be an early bird but how was I to know
You would leave without shedding a tear
I only want to love you, I'll make a wish
And suddenly I'm glad that I have you here
Oh, I'm glad I have you here todayTo me you are the loveliest thing I've seen all day
And you can't take that away, no, you can't take that away

But all my life, I wondered why it couldn't be this way
That was up until today, yeah, it had to be this wayToday, wait until the morning comes
Before you slip away, today, oh
Before you slip away
Without permission, above suspicion
Without permission given to you

Sir James Paul McCartney, MBE (born 18 June 1942), born in Liverpool, UK, is the most successful songwriter in the history of popular music. McCartney is a multiple Grammy Award- and Academy Award-winning English singer-songwriter, poet, composer, multi-instrumentalist, entrepreneur, record producer, film producer, painter, and animal rights and peace activist. He gained worldwide fame as a member of The Beatles, alongside John Lennon, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr. McCartney and Lennon formed one of the most influential and successful songwriting partnerships and wrote some of the most popular songs in the history of rock music. After leaving The Beatles in 1970, McCartney launched a successful solo career and formed the band Wings with his first wife, Linda Eastman, and singer-songwriter Denny Laine. He has worked on film scores and classical and electronic music, released a large catalogue of songs as a solo artist, and taken part in projects to help international charities.

McCartney is listed in Guinness World Records as the most successful musician and composer in popular music history, with 60 gold discs and sales of 100 million singles. His song "Yesterday" (credited to Lennon/McCartney, but composed entirely by McCartney) is listed as the most covered song in history—by over 3,500 artists so far—and has been played more than 7,000,000 times on American television and radio. Wings' 1977 single "Mull Of Kintyre" became the first single to sell more than two million copies in the UK, and remains the UK's top selling non-charity single. According to britishhitsongwriters.com, he is the most successful songwriter in UK singles chart history, based on weeks that his compositions have spent on the chart.

Following the death of his first wife Linda in 1998, McCartney married Heather Mills in 2002. They divorced in 2008. McCartney now has Nancy Shevell as his partner. McCartney practices meditation, sometimes still using the mantra that the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi gave him when The Beatles went to a transcendental meditation seminar in 1967. McCartney is an advocate for animal rights, vegetarianism, and music education; he is active in campaigns against landmines, seal hunting, and Third World debt. He is a keen football fan, supporting both Everton and Liverpool football clubs. His company MPL Communications owns the copyrights to more than 3,000 songs, including all of the songs written by Buddy Holly, along with the publishing rights to such musicals as Guys and Dolls, A Chorus Line, and Grease. McCartney is one of Britain's wealthiest men, with an estimated fortune of £750 million ($1.2 billion) in 2009.
