Paul McCartney Pens A Love Letter To Linda with ‘My Love’

My Heart Can Stay With My Love…

It’s no secret that Paul McCartney was as in love with his wife Linda as any man could possibly be. In fact, that’s why we loved their relationship so much – the love that those two shared was the catalyst for some of Paul’s most amazing solo work, especially ‘My Love’.

This ballad to Linda was featured on Paul McCartney and Wings’ 1973 album Red Rose Speedway, and instantly shot to #1 on the US Billboard Hot 100 after its release!

Written in 1973, ‘My Love’ was recorded live with a 50-piece orchestra, with the solo improvised by guitarist Henry McCullough.

While it’s been covered by many artists ranging from Heart’s Nancy Wilson, Johnny Gill, and even Cher, ‘My Love’ doesn’t have the same power behind it without Paul McCartney leading the charge!

Fiercely devoted to his wife during what would be a 30 year marriage until her death from advanced breast cancer in 1998, Paul’s vocals on this amazing ballad are enough to make anyone believe in the kind of love that lasts a lifetime!

+ My Love lyrics +

And when I go away
I know my heart can stay with my love
It’s understood, it’s in the hands of my love
And my love does it good

Wo wo wo wo, wo wo wo wo
My love does it good

And when the cupboard’s bare
I’ll still find somethin’ there with my love
It’s understood, it’s everywhere with my love
And my love does it good

Wo wo wo wo, wo wo wo wo
My love does it good

Oh, I love, oh, my love
Only my love holds the other key to me
Oh, my love, oh, my love
Only my love does it good to me

Wo wo wo wo, wo wo wo wo
My love does it good

Don’t ever ask me why
Lord, I never say goodbye to my love
It’s understood, it’s everywhere with my love
And my love, she does it good

Wo wo wo wo, wo wo wo wo
Wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo
My love does it good

Oh, I love, oh, my love
Only my love does it good to me

Wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo
