Song facts

From Wikipedia:

“On the Wings of a Nightingale” is a song written and composed by Paul McCartney and recorded by the Everly Brothers in 1984 for their album EB 84, which Dave Edmunds produced. […]
The video shot to accompany the selection shows the brothers rescuing a classic car (specifically, a 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air convertible) from a junkyard, restoring it (in a series of shots that compress an unknown number of weeks, or months, into 35 seconds of video time) to drivable condition, then taking it out for a spin.
“On the Wings of a Nightingale” is the most popular of the duo’s songs recorded since 1970 and the final Everly Brothers single to chart on the Billboard Hot 100. […]
McCartney’s own version still exists, strictly as a demonstration recording; it remains unreleased as of 2020.

Remember Dave Edmunds’ rocking guitar work on ‘Not Such A Bad Boy’ and ‘No Values’? Well, at the time of recording he was due to produce the Everly Brothers’ comeback album and persuaded Paul to write ‘On The Wings Of A Nightingale’ for them. The result? The brothers’ first hit in almost 20 years…

Lyrics

When I love, I get a feeling
Like I'm traveling through the sky
On the wings of a nightingale

As I ride my head is reeling
But I don't even wonder why
On the wings of a nightingale, I fly

High above, land and sea
I'll be thinking of you and me
Couldn't ask for a better place to be

Oh, I can feel something happening
Oh, I can feel something happening
Oh, I can feel something happening to me

So hold my hand
I've got a feeling that the journey has just begun
On the wings of a nightingale

And if you like, we'll fly together
To the land of eternal sun
On the wings of a nightingale of love

High above, land and sea
I'll be thinking of you and me
Couldn't ask for a better place to be

Oh, I can feel something happening
Oh, I can feel something happening
Oh, I can feel something happening to me

When I love, I get a feeling
Like I'm traveling through the sky
On the wings of a nightingale

On the wings of a nightingale
On the wings of a nightingale
On the wings of a nightingale
