I'll Follow The Sun

Release date: 04 December 1964

One day you'll look to see I've gone,
For tomorrow may rain, so I'll follow the sun.

Some day you'll know I was the one,
But, tomorrow may rain, so I'll follow the sun.

And now the time has come,
And so, my love, I must go.
And though I lose a friend,
In the end you will know. Oh,

One day you'll find that I have gone,
But, tomorrow may rain, so I'll follow the sun.

Yeah, tomorrow may rain, so I'll follow the sun.

And now the time has come,
And so, my love, I must go.
And though I lose a friend,
In the end you will know. Oh,

One day you'll find that I have gone,
But, tomorrow may rain, so I'll follow the sun.

"I'll Follow the Sun" is a song by the Beatles. It is a melancholy ballad written and sung by Paul McCartney and credited to Lennon-McCartney. It was released in 1964 on the Beatles for Sale album in the United Kingdom and on Beatles '65 in the United States, but was written long before that year: a version recorded in 1960 can be found in the bootleg record You Might As Well Call Us the Quarrymen. The song is somewhat of a cult favourite; it was released as a mono extended play 45 in 1964 on Parlophone/EMI (and in 1995 as a B-side to Baby It's You).
