Baby I’m amazed at the way you love me all the time
Maybe I’m afraid of the way I love you
Baby I’m amazed at the the way you pulled me out of time
Hung me on a line
Maybe I’m amazed at the way I really need you

-Paul McCartney

Watched a great piece of this documentary on Paul last night. I admit, I cried a little when they played this song over clips of him and Linda. He described so simply how she saw him, who he really was, and how they were just together – in the midst of a complete balloon of chaos really. Everyone else saw the Beatles…saw them break up. When it was over and done- Paul was still Paul. He was a man, he was himself, he had a little place on this planet, and she was by his side. He talked about her, how she helped him find his way back to music, back to happiness, she gave him affirmations, she said yes to him, she gently persuaded him, she created a warm family of love around him. It’s a sort of simple family, love story. It’s remarkable and then it’s kind of normal too.

To love truly, to love deeply, to know another person as well as you can…what else is there?
I’m really enjoying seeing new love out there…new couples I’m meeting…planning the beginnings of something sweet…maybe something remarkable.

Baby I’m amazed at the way you’re with me all the time
Maybe I’m afraid of the way I leave you
Baby I’m amazed at the way you help me sing my song
You right me when I’m wrong
Maybe I’m amazed at the way I really need you
