Song facts
“I Am Your Singer” is a song from Wings’ debut album, “Wild Life“, released in 1971.
On things like ‘I Am Your Singer’ – and, well all of them – I really love Linda’s voice. I think it’s very distinctive and she sings well. I’m sort of listening for it being what the critics said – you know, ‘Oh, she’s not very good’. But her tone is great.

Lyrics
You are my love,
You are my song, linger on,
You are my song,
I am your singer.
You are my one,
You are my own melody,
You are my song,
I am your singer.
Someday when we're singing
We will fly away,
Going winging.
Sing, singing my love song to you.
My song is sung,
When day is done harmonies will linger on,
I am your singer,
I am your singer,
Singing my love song to you.

Paul McCartney: Music Is Ideas. The Stories Behind the Songs (Vol. 1) 1970-1989
With 25 albums of pop music, 5 of classical – a total of around 500 songs – released over the course of more than half a century, Paul McCartney's career, on his own and with Wings, boasts an incredible catalogue that's always striving to free itself from the shadow of The Beatles. The stories behind the songs, demos and studio recordings, unreleased tracks, recording dates, musicians, live performances and tours, covers, events: Music Is Ideas Volume 1 traces McCartney's post-Beatles output from 1970 to 1989 in the form of 346 song sheets, filled with details of the recordings and stories behind the sessions. Accompanied by photos, and drawing on interviews and contemporary reviews, this reference book draws the portrait of a musical craftsman who has elevated popular song to an art-form.
