All My Loving

"All My Loving" is a song by English rock group the Beatles, written by Paul McCartney (credited to Lennon–McCartney), from the 1963 album With the Beatles. Though it was not released as a single in the United Kingdom or the United States, it drew considerable radio airplay, prompting EMI to issue it as the title track of an EP. The song was released as a single in Canada, where it became a number one hit. The Canadian single was imported into the US in enough quantities to peak at number 45 on the Billboard Hot 100 in April 1964. It was the first song most Americans ever heard the group sing as it was the opening song on their debut on The Ed Sullivan Show on 9 February 1964.

Composition

According to journalist Bill Harry, McCartney thought of the lyrics whilst shaving, though McCartney told biographer Barry Miles that he wrote them while on a tour bus. He also said, "It was the first song I'd ever written the words first. I never wrote words first, it was always some kind of accompaniment. I've hardly ever done it since either." The lyrics follow the "letter song" model as used on "P.S. I Love You", the B-side of their first single. After arriving at the location of the gig, he wrote the music on a piano backstage.

    All My Loving

    by: Herb Alpert & The Tijuana Brass

    Close your eyes and I'll kiss you
    Tomorrow I'll miss you
    Remember I'll always be true
    And then while I'm away
    I'll write home every day
    And I'll send all my loving to you
    I'll pretend that I'm kissing
    The lips I am missing
    And hope that my dreams will come true
    And then while I'm away
    I'll write home every day
    And I'll send all my loving to you
    All my loving, I will send to you
    All my loving, darling I'll be true, yeah
    Close your eyes and I'll kiss you
    Tomorrow I'll miss you
    Remember I'll always be true
    And then while I'm away
    I'll write home every day
    And I'll send all my loving to you
    All my loving, I will send to you
    All my loving, darling I'll be true
    All my loving, all my loving
