Golden Slumbers/Carry That Weight/The End- Abbey Road

Once there was a way to get back homeward
Once there was a way to get back home
Sleep pretty darling do not cry
And I will sing a lullaby

Golden slumbers fill your eyes
Smiles awake you when you rise
Sleep pretty darling do not cry
And I will sing a lullaby

Once there was a way to get back homeward
Once there was a way to get back home
Sleep pretty darling do not cry
And I will sing a lullaby

Boy, you're gonna carry that weight
Carry that weight a long time
Boy, you're gonna carry that weight
Carry that weight a long time

I never give you my pillow
I only send you my invitation
And in the middle of the celebrations, I break down

Boy, you're gonna carry that weight
Carry that weight a long time
Boy, you're gonna carry that weight
Carry that weight a long time

Oh yeah, all right
Are you gonna be in my dreams tonight

Love you, love you
love you, love you...

And in the end, the love you take
is equal to the love you make
Ah

I used to sing Golden Slumbers to my youngest daughter when I put her to bed at night, she's 23 and just got a call tonight that she is getting married. Thanks John, Sir Paul, George and Ringo for the memories. She told me that's the Daddy, Daughter dance song she wants...PRICELESS!

And then in 1969 musical perfection was obtained. ;)

[Praisegrrl]

I will guarantee that the bits were put together by George Martin, who would also have filled in any instrumental part missing. Without Geoge Martin, The Beatles would never have been so great!

you don't need to add a year, its just musical perfection

[Sara Allison]

it makes me

[Simon Griffiths]

had that poster on my wall.... I think they did do it in one take.... most (I maybe wrong), was all doe in one take when they recorded... sat for hours and hours..... then did one take.....

(actually, these at the end of this album I think were pieced together...).. all songs they never finished.....)

[ghostwhiskey]

When they did that guitar solo trade off; Paul,George and John,I wonder if they did it live in one take

[ghostwhiskey]

Asked about Pete Best he said Pete was a great drummer Ringo was a great Beatle

[oldstampsfan]

Someone asked John if Ringo was the best drummer in the world,John laughed and said hell hes not even the best drummer in the Beatles,meaning Paul was a better drummer than poor Ringo!LOL!

I hope you didn't butcher the song in the process! But sounds like good memories.
