Free verse tribute to Paul McCartney

Yesterday

by Sally Law

It was only Yesterday
that I purchased my first of many;
45s that spun round and round
on my record player.

The Fab Four's songs--two for fifty cents--
dramatically shaped my life.
They were singing to me, it seemed,
Yesterday in time.

Paul's voice was clear above the rest--
a sparkling set of eyes.
Danced and sang with his guitar;
I thought I saw him wink... Yesterday.

Just Yesterday he left the group...
flew off with Wings, I heard.
More Silly Love Songs yet to come?
Sounds good to me, Sir Paul McCartney.  

Yesterday is gone, they say,
our past a second ago.
But the tunes in my head are forever mine;
I'll never say goodbye to Yesterday....

In 1963 a 45 rpm record sold for under $.50! The big hit was on one side, the lesser hit on the other. My first Beatles purchase was: I Want To Hold Your Hand.

My top three favorite Paul McCartney songs for Fantasticated Friday. These are sure to brighten your day!

{Number One and always will be....}


{Number Two. Notice the tears on Paul's face as he sings this!}


{Number Three. I built Wedding Chronicles #2 around this beautiful song. One of the greatest of the Beatles in my humble opinion.}
Pays one point and 2 member cents.
