about

Adding “Unfortunately” to the nuptial “I Do” is more like a Lennon thing. The slide guitar that introduces every verse - so George. But this is Macca and love is funny. It’s the feeling you get when you know it’s for real. You hear the tree fall in the forest. You see the shadow on the wall. And we end Part 1 with love, eternal love.

lyrics

Do I carry a torch in the daylight?
Do I need another hole in my head?
Do I hear the tree falling in the forest?
Do I know if the tree’s any worse off dead?

Can I keep this up for any longer?
Must I find a way to live alone?
Do I look at the sky and see your blue eyes?
Do I look at those eyes and see a home?

I do. Unfortunately I do.

Do I make a ripple on the water?
Do I make a shadow on the wall?
Do I make a reflection on the mirror?
Do I make a mark only if I fall?

I do. Unfortunately I do.

Do I write a song for you each morning?
Put your name in everything I write?
Never want to spend a day without you
Never miss a chance to kiss and hold you tight

You ask if we would be a memory
I said we will, will have love eternally
Now we have love for all eternity
We have love.
