Continuing yesterday's post. This is take three of "My Life" the early version of "(Just like) Starting Over". The lyrics were completely different from the final version. The early version shows the romantic plea, the offering of one's life to someone you love deeply. In the vein of "Can't Help Falling in Love With You" - "Take my hand, take my whole life, too"

Hey it says pause on the…. Argh! My life. Take three. Where is the mic? Oh, there it is. My life take it, it's mine to give Take it, let me live in you My life, take it, it's yours Do what you will, I dedicate it to you. What's the use in waking? If you're not there To share the dreams and nightmare My life, take it for better or worse Why waste time? We both know Together is the only way we'll make it Anyway, take it, my life. My life is you. What's the use in waking? If you're not there To share the dreams and nightmare I've only myself to… I've only myself to give For better or worse I dedicate, My life to you.

John in the 1970s

Honestly, forget about India. I need to know in detail what occurred on that New York trip if we’re getting headlines from 1968 magazines like this:

What does Pattie know? 🧐

Question: Is there anything about one of your photographs that make you smile because you know what is going on behind the camera?

Pattie: There was a photograph I took in India and the Beatles where writing music for the white album. It was a very creative time. But I got one shot of Paul and John sitting together. John is just looking at Paul and Paul is making some sort of face. And I just wish I knew what they would have been saying. But something...there's something going on.

Interestingly, Pattie tweeted this on Paul's birthday:

The dream is over. What can I say? The dream is over. Yesterday

God (1970)

The only thing you done was yesterday And since you've gone you're just another day
