What is the name of the McCartney song i heard the other night

[sheppos boys]

On Friday night on Channel Two there was a doco on the Beatles impact on the USSR and Maccas concert tour.

One song with Macca and the band playing acoustic guitar was brilliant, but I do not the name of the song. It has a line in it ....... I will love you for the rest of my life.

Can anyone tell me who wrote it and on what album it may be found.

It would be greatly appreciated.

I did not see the doco but my guess is that it is Calico Skies. There is version of this song on the Live in Red Square DVD. http://www.hmv.com.au/product/dvd_music.asp?sku=985809&Affiliate=919

Here are the lyrics

It was written that I would love you
From the moment I opened my eyes
And the morning when I first saw you
Gave me life under calico skies.

I will hold you for as long as you like
I’ll hold you for the rest of my life

Always looking for ways to love you
Never failing to fight at your side
While the angels of love protect us
From the innermost secrets we hide

I’ll hold you for as long as you like
I’ll hold you for the rest of my life

Long live all of us were crazy soldiers who
Were born under calico skies
May we never be called to handle
All the weapons of war we despise

I’ll hold you for as long as you like
I’ll hold you for the rest of my life
I’ll hold you for as long as you like
I’ll love you for the rest of my...
For the rest of my life

Thanks again Hotel 6.

As a matter of interest are you a Macca fan?

if so, did you like his last effort?

Can I just add, on the topic of Flaming Pie, that it's a brilliant album all round!! One of Sir Paul's most consistent efforts.

I am not a huge Macca fan but do the love the work of the Beatles. Having said that Flaming Pie is a great CD and you should find a copy of it easily and well worth adding to your collection. I have not got the latest disc yet, I will probably pick it up one day!!
