My Valentine Lyrics

[Verse 1]
What if it rained?
We didn't care
She said that someday soon, the sun was gonna shine
And she was right
This love of mine
My valentine

[Verse 2]
As days and nights
Would pass me by
I tell myself that I was waiting for a sign
Then she appeared
A love so fine
My valentine

[Bridge]
And I will love her for life
And I will never let a day go by
Without remembering the reasons why
She makes me certain that I can fly

[Verse 3]
And so I do
Without a care
I know that someday soon, the sun is gonna shine
And she'll be there
This love of mine
My valentine
[Verse 1]
What if it rained?
We didn't care
She said that someday soon, the sun was gonna shine
And she was right
This love of mine
My valentine

What did Paul McCartney say about "My Valentine"?
Genius Answer

In an interview for the album, Paul said:

I wrote the song on Valentine’s Day in Morocco where we were on holiday and it had been raining, and I’d said “oh pity about the rain” and all of that, and she’d said to me “it doesn’t matter, we’ll have a good time” – and I really liked that because I know there’s nothing you can do about weather. So I was in the foyer of the hotel, knocking around on this old Joanna that the Irish pianist played in the evenings and because it was raining, because it was not sort of sunny and bright and everyone milling around, this minor-y melody came out and the words were pretty much what I was thinking really, they just spilled out.’
