I've Just Seen A Face

Paul McCartney · Other Songs - Paul McCartney

I've just seen a face

I can't forget the time or place

Where we first met

She's just the girl for me

I want all the world to see we've met



Had it been another day

I might have looked the other way

And I'd have never been aware

As it is I'll dream of her tonight



Falling, yes, I am falling

And she keeps calling

Me back again



I have never known

The likes of this, I've been alone

And I have missed things

And kept out of sight

But other girls were never quite like this



Falling, yes, I am falling

And she keeps calling

Me back again



Falling, yes, I am falling

And she keeps calling

Me back again



I've just seen a face

I can't forget the time or place

Where we first met

She's just the girl for me

I want all the world to see we've met



Falling, yes, I am falling

And she keeps calling

Me back again



Falling, yes, I am falling

And she keeps calling

Me back again



Falling, yes, I am falling

And she keeps calling

Me back again
