Standing Next to Me

I got a call from Mr Hart
Said would you like to be a part of something great
To join a band with Ringo Starr
Bring along your bass guitar and don't be late

So what was there to say
I soon was on my way
And on that very night I met the man
Who was a major part
Was at the very start
Of where it all began

We talked about our growin' up
Of gettin' sick and throwin' up
And Northern girls
He told us tales of the Fabs
His adventures with the lads
Who changed the world

We played each other's songs
The people sang along
And all was peace and love
We'd play a two hour set
Fly by private jet
I knеw that I belonged

We sang a song about a man who's sad and lonеly
Gettin' down upon his bended knee
I had to pinch myself
When every night I saw
Him standing next to me

We knocked 'em dead in Chicago
Broke the bank in Monte Carlo
What a trip
Yes peace and love was our mantra
Making music, trading banter
Very hip

The years would slip away
With every song we'd play
See the people taken back in time
To where it all began
Workin' with the man
I'd go back anytime

We sang a song about a man who's sad and lonely
Gettin' down upon his bended knee
I had to pinch myself
When every night I saw
Him standing next to me

Now I'm back in London Town
My feet have barely touched the ground
I am blessed
I hope someday we'll reunite
Once again I'll take that flight
It was the best

We sang a song about a man who's sad and lonely
Gettin' down upon his bended knee
I had to pinch myself
When every night I saw
Him standing next to me

We sang a song about a man who's sad and lonely
Gettin' down upon his bended knee
I had to pinch myself
When every night I saw
Him standing next to me

I got a call from Mr Hart
Said would you like to be a part of something great
