Baby's request





When the moon lays his head on a pillow,
And the stars settle down for a rest,
Just do me one small favour, I beg you,
Please, play me my baby's request.

It's the song that we heard when we started,
Now the birds have all flown from our nest.
But you could bring back mem'ries, departed,
By playing my baby's request.

My baby said,
That she knows how it goes,
But you're the one who really knows.
So go ahead,
Just one more time and then we'll go to bed.

But you could bring back mem'ries, departed,
By playing my baby's request.

My baby says,
That she knows how it goes,
But you're the one who really knows.
So go ahead,
Just one more time and then we'll go to bed.

When the moon lays his head on a pillow,
And the stars settles down for a rest,
Just do me one small favour, I beg you,
Please, play me baby's request,
Mm-mm, play me baby's request,
Please, play me my baby's request.

One more time.

PAUL McCARTNEY




Baby's request es una canción de cierto tono jazzístico que Paul McCartney incluyó en su álbum Back to the egg, último trabajo de los Wings, y que ahora ha vuelto a regrabar en su último disco de versiones , Kisses on the bottom, en el que encaja como un guante. Aquí os dejo con ambas versiones.

Pues me quedo con la vieja versión...La de Back to the egg... Pero curiosamente, de ese disco no es de las que me llama más la atención. Me quedaría antes con Old Siam, sir, After the ball/Million Miles o Getting Closer.
Un saludo.

Bueno, es que Baby's request realmente es una ruptura con el tono cañero del disco, insólito en Paul.

Saludos.
