We were growing, time was going so fast
Without knowing, we were growing so fast

We were lying down, in the shade
I remember the love we made

We were lying down, on a bed
I remember the tears we shed

We were growing, time was going so fast, (Growing up)
Without knowing, (Falling down) we were growing up fast (Growing up, Falling down)
(Growing up, Falling down)

We were laughing too, we were sad
I remember the fun we had
We were crying loud, with the pain
We will never be here again

Growing up, falling down

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.
