About Dear Boy

"Dear Boy" is a song from the Paul McCartney album Ram. Credited to Paul and Linda McCartney, the song was written during the couple's lengthy holiday on their farm in the Mull of Kintyre. The lyrics were written by Paul about how lucky he was to have Linda. "Dear Boy" was written as an autobiographical song about his relationship with his wife, Linda. He says in a 1971 interview, Dear Boy was my attempt at an autobiography about myself and how lucky I was to have Linda. .

Dear Boy Lyrics

[00:01.39] I guess you never knew, dear boy, what you had found
[00:07.62] I guess you never knew, dear boy, that she was just the cutest thing around
[00:14.23] I guess you never knew what you had found, dear boy
[00:20.58] I guess you never saw, dear boy that love was there
[00:27.09] And maybe when you look too hard, dear boy, you never do become aware
[00:33.47] I guess you never did become aware, dear boy
[00:39.07] When I stepped in, my heart was down and out
[00:46.70] But her love came through and brought me 'round
[00:53.59] Got me up and about
[01:18.70] When I stepped in, my heart was down and out
[01:26.51] But her love came through and brought me 'round
[01:33.19] Got me up and about
[01:40.51] I hope you never know, dear boy, how much you missed
[01:46.66] And even when you fall in love, dear boy
[01:50.70] It won't be half as good as this
[01:53.07] I hope you never know how much you missed
[01:55.98] Dear boy, how much you missed, dear boy
