"The Long And Winding Road" lyrics

The Beatles Lyrics

"The Long And Winding Road"

The long and winding road, that leads, to your door
Will never disappear, I've seen that road before
It always leads me here, lead me to your door
The wild and windy night, that the rain, washed away
Has left a pool of tears, crying for the day
Why leave me standing here, let me know the way

Many times I've been alone, and many times I've cried
Any way you'll never know, the many ways I've tried
And still they lead me back, to the long winding road
You left me standing here a long long time ago
Don't leave me waiting here, lead me to your door

But still they lead me back to the long winding road
You left me standing here, a long long time ago
Don't keep me waiting here (Don't keep me wait), lead me to your door
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Thanks to David, liz for correcting these lyrics.

The road, this song is about, is the B842 in Scotland near Paul McCartney's High Park Farm close to Campbeltown. Scotland, in general, always inspired him.
The song was meant to be a simple ballad, but the producer Phil Spector made it sound so differently that Paul McCartney greatly disliked the result, though George Harrison and John Lennon both supported Spector. The original version still can be heard on the "Let It Be... Naked" album released in 2003.
The only song by The Beatles where John Lennon played bass.
This song could be the next big-hit single for Tom Jones in 1968, when Paul McCartney offered it to him. But Jones' recording company was already preparing another song for him, so "The Long And Winding Road" was declined by Jones.
This song is The Beatles' final number-one single in the USA Billboard Hot 100 chart.
