This is such a sweet and lovely song. I love the harmonies, the melody…it’s pretty much perfect.

There’s some background info at Wikipedia, and some suggested interpretations at SongMeanings and SongFacts, but other than the fact that the song was originally titled “Auntie Gin’s Theme” (allegedly, Paul McCartney’s Aunt Gin really liked the song), I’m not going to say anything more on the subject. It’s a love song. A silly love song, you could say. I think it’s best to stop pondering it’s meaning and just enjoy it for what it is.

Here’s a link to a fan video

And of course, the lyrics:

I’ve just seen a face,
I can’t forget the time or place
Where we just met.
She’s just the girl for me
And I want all the world to see
We’ve met, mmm-mmm-mmm-m’mmm-mmm.
Had it been another day
I might have looked the other way
And I’d have never been aware.
But as it is I’ll dream of her
Tonight, di-di-di-di’n'di.
Falling, yes I am falling,
And she keeps calling
Me back again.
I have never known
The like of this, I’ve been alone
And I have missed things
And kept out of sight
But other girls were never quite
Like this, mmm-mmm-mmm-m’mmm-mmm.
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 just met.
She’s just the girl for me
And I want all the world to see
We’ve met, mmm-mmm-mmm-di’n'di
Falling, yes I am falling,
And she keeps calling
Me back again.
Oh, falling, yes I am falling,
And she keeps calling
Me back again.
