[Verse 1]
It was written that I would love you
From the moment I opened my eyes
And the minute when I first saw you
Gave me life under calico skies

[Chorus]
I will hold you for as long as you'd like
I'll hold you for the rest of my life

[Verse 2]
Always looking for ways to love you
Never failing to fight at your side
While the angels of love protect us
From the inner most secrets we hide

[Chorus]
I'll hold you for as long as you'd like
I'll hold you for the rest of my life

[Verse 3]
Long live all of us crazy soldiers
Who were born under calico skies
May we never be called to handle
All the weapons of war we despise

[Chorus]
I'll hold you for as long as you'd like
I'll hold you for the rest of my life
I'll hold you for as long as you'd like
I'll love you for the rest of my
For the rest of my life

Sir James Paul McCartney, born June 18, 1942, is the single most successful music artist of all time. He found worldwide fame as the bass player and vocalist for The Beatles, and has continued to enjoy commercial success long after the band’s breakup.

His post-Beatles projects—the most lucrative of which was the band Wings, alongside then-wife Linda Eastman—have been met with mixed critical reception but he still retains a substantial public following, regularly conducting worldwide arena tours well into his later years.

His album sales with The Beatles, Wings and solo endeavours combined come to over 100 million, and his net worth was estimated to be approximately $1.2 billion circa 2018. He was knighted in 1997 and is known for his activism.
