[Intro]
A-one, two, three

[Verse 1]
When was that summer when the skies were blue?
The bright red cardinal flew down from his tree
You tell me

[Verse 2]
When was that summer when it never rained?
The air was buzzing with the sweet old honeybee
Let's see
You tell me

[Bridge]
Were we there? Was it real?
Is it truly how I feel?
Maybe
You tell me

[Interlude]
Ooh

[Bridge]
Were we there? Is it true?
Was I really there with you?
Let's see
You tell me

[Verse 3]
When was that summer of a dozen words?
The butterflies and hummingbirds flew free
Let's see
You tell me

[Outro]
Ah let's see
You tell me (You tell me)

Paul McCartney

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.
