Cover art for Dear Boy lyrics by Paul McCartney

Beautiful song with wonderful harmonies by Paul and Linda. Not about John Lennon at all (do most of Paul's songs have to be about John?) It's actually written to Linda's first husband, Michael See. If, as reported, Lennon thought the song was aimed at him, perhaps it's from his own guilt over how he treated Cynthia.
