The Long and Winding Road TSC

The Long and Winding Road      TSC
When I was 18, my cousin was 16 and was in love with the Beatles (I think Paul the most). She had tickets to Carnegie Hall for their New York concert and was one of the crazed fans who went wild for them in the city. It was February 12, 1964. I remember Christmas of that year and we were all having dinner at my aunt and uncles home. The phone rang. My cousin answered. The voice said he was Paul McCartney. My cousin spazzzed. My dad finally admitted it was he playing a trick on her. I will never forget it.

The Long And Winding Road, The Beatles

The long and winding road
That leads to your door
Will never disappear
I've seen that road before
It always leads me here
Lead me to you door
The wild and windy night
That the rain washed away
Has left a pool of tears
Crying for the day
Why leave me standing here
Let me know the way
Many times I've been alone
And many times I've cried
Any way you'll never know
The many ways I've tried
But still they lead me back
To the long winding road
You left me standing here
A long long time ago
Don't leave me waiting here
Lead me to your door
But still they lead me back
To the long winding road
You left me standing here
A long long time ago
Don't keep me waiting here
Lead me to your door
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Great shot and story. I saw the Beatles in Stockholm in 1965. I fancied Paul as well. :-)

Great song, great story and great shot Coco. Before they became world stars they played every evening in Hamburg's redlight district. And even though I am a native Hamburger I have never seen them. I love their music, however. At least most of it.
