The honeymoon song
Beatles · Live at the BBC
I never knew that a day
like today lay before us.
I've got the sun in my heart
and my heart's in the sun.
Skies are as bright
as your eyes,
the horizon is open.
Love is the ceiling,
feelings are reelings
free as the air.
Forever on and forever,
forever on side by side.
who ever knew that we two
could be free as we'd fancy,
fancy is free
but are we bound
to each other by love,
to each other by love?
Who ever knew that we two
could be free as we'd fancy,
fancy is free
but are we bound
to each other by love,
to each other by love,
to each other by love,
to each other by love?
like today lay before us.
I've got the sun in my heart
and my heart's in the sun.
Skies are as bright
as your eyes,
the horizon is open.
Love is the ceiling,
feelings are reelings
free as the air.
Forever on and forever,
forever on side by side.
who ever knew that we two
could be free as we'd fancy,
fancy is free
but are we bound
to each other by love,
to each other by love?
Who ever knew that we two
could be free as we'd fancy,
fancy is free
but are we bound
to each other by love,
to each other by love,
to each other by love,
to each other by love?
The Honeymoon Song
Recorded live at the BBC in 1963, "The Honeymoon Song" stands as a quintessential example of The Beatles' early electric pop sound. Performed by John, Paul, George, and Ringo, the track captures the band's energetic stage presence and tight harmonies during their peak popularity. Released on the compilation album Live at the BBC, the recording showcases the group's ability to blend upbeat rhythms with melodic sophistication, reflecting the optimism of their first year together. As a staple of their early discography, the song remains a defining moment in the history of British Invasion music, illustrating the band's evolution from skiffle covers to original compositions that would soon redefine global rock culture.
