[Verse 1]
I can wait another day until I call you
Mm-hm
You've only got my heart on a string
And everything aflutter (na na na na)
But another lonely night might take forever (na na na na)
We've only got each other to blame
It's all the same to me love

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Cause I know
What I feel
To be right

[Chorus 1]
No more lonely nights
No more lonely nights
You're my guiding light
Day or night I'm always there

[Verse 2]
May I never miss the thrill
(Na-na-na na, Na-na-na na)
Of being near you
(Na-na-na-na-na-na)
And if it takes a couple of years
To turn your tears to laughter

[Pre-Chorus 2]
I will do
What I feel
To be right

[Chorus 2]
No more lonely nights, never be another
No more lonely nights
You're my guiding light
Day or night I'm always there

[Bridge 1]
And I won't go away until you tell me so
No, I'll never go away

[Guitar solo: David Gilmour]

[Pre-Chorus 3]
Yes, I know
What I feel
To be right

[Chorus 3]
No more lonely nights, never be another
No more lonely nights
You're my guiding light
Day or night I'm always there

[Bridge 2]
And I won't go away until you tell me so
No, I'll never go away
And I won't go away until you tell me so
No, I'll never go away
No more lonely nights
No, no
Hoo

[C part with guitar solo by David Gilmour]

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.
