Ah, my mama said the time will come
When I will find myself in love with you

NOTE: "You see, with a lot of songs I do, the first line is
it. It's all in the first line, and then you have to go on and
write the second line. With 'Eleanor Rigby' I had 'picks up the
rice in the church where the wedding has been. that was the one
big line that started me off on it. With this one it was 'No
one ever left alive in nineteen hundred and eighty-five.' That
all I had of that song for months. 'No one left alive in
nineteen hundred and eighty ... six?' It wouldn't have
worked!" (Paul McCartney)
