[Intro]
Looking through the backyard of my life
Time to sweep the fallen leaves away

[Bridge 1]
Like the sun that rises every day
We can chase the dark clouds from the sky

[Verse 1]
I gave my promise to you girl
I don't wanna take it back
You and me, side by side
We know how to change the world
That is why I gave my promise to you girl

[Verse 2]
Hey, why wait another day?
That won't get us anywhere
All the time that it takes
To repair this brave old world
Will be ours, I gave my promise to you girl

[Bridge 2]
Every single second of our lives
We can use to chase the clouds away

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]
Well, there's no more barking up the tree
No more howling at the moon
They won't see you and I
Diving for the deepest buck
That is why I gave my promise to you girl

[Outro]
Looking through the backyard of my life
Time to sweep the fallen leaves away

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.
