Sugar in the morning
Sugar in the evening
Sugar at suppertime
Be my little sugar and love me all the time
Honey in the morning
Honey in the evening
Honey at suppertime
You'll be my little honey and love me all the time

Put your arms around me
And swear by the stars above (Uh-Huh)
You'll be mine forever in a heaven of love

Sugar in the morning
Sugar in the evening
Sugar at suppertime
Be my little sugar and love me all the time

Ooh-Hoo, Ooh-Hoo
Sugar in the morning
Sugar in the evening
Sugar at suppertime
Be my little sugar and love me all the time

Honey in the morning
Honey in the evening
Honey at suppertime
You'll be my little honey and love me all the time

So, put your arms around me

Linda McCartney

Before she met Paul McCartney, Linda Eastman McCartney (1941-1998) was a professional photographer. Despite the name, she had no connection to the Eastman Kodak fortune – rather, her family were Jewish immigrants who moved to America at a time when it was common for Jewish-Americans to choose English last names as a way to assimilate.

In May 1967, Paul was in the audience at a small music club when he struck up a conversation with Linda. In May 1968, he made an excuse to see her the next time he was in New York. Within a month, they were inseparable, and they stayed devoted to each other until she died of cancer in 1998.

Paul’s biographer called the marriage “by far the happiest and most durable in pop.” With Paul as a coach, Linda went on a notorious rise from totally untrained musician, to a (self-acknowledged) mediocre member of Wings, to the respected counter-melody, co-writer, and muse of Paul’s late-career music. In 1975, she added “activist” to her resume, when she and Paul became the most famous converts to vegetarianism at the time.
