A tune definitely on par with his best during his Beatle days. It also succeeds where many of Paul's lovely post-Beatle songs fail - that being Paul's tendency toward schmaltzy goofy lyrics. That was alway the good thing about John - he didn't just keep cramming the airwaves with any tune or lyric he came up with. He admitted to not being as prolific as Paul. But Paul would frequently put something out when, perhaps, he shouldn't have.
Yes, a great tune that didn't quite get realized. I was hoping that Paul would have selected this one as among those he would flesh out a bit more during that semi-Beatle reunion in the late '90s. Alas. As it stands on its own it would probably be very difficult to improve. A beautiful song! Great and very appropriate lyrics. Almost a wedding anthem!
