My Valentine
Paul McCartney Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

What if it rained?
We didn't care
She said that someday soon
The sun was gonna shine
And she was right
This love of mine,
My valentine

As days and nights
Would pass me by
I tell myself that I was waiting for a sign
Then she appeared
A love so fine,
My valentine

And I will love her, for life
And I will never let a day go by
Without remembering the reasons why
She makes me certain
That I can fly

And so I do
Without a care
I know that someday soon
The sun is gonna shine
And she'll be there
This love of mine,
My valentine

What if it rained?
We didn't care
She said that someday soon
The sun is gonna shine
And she was right
This love of mine,
My valentine

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of My Valentine by Paul McCartney depict a beautiful love story that stands the test of time. The song begins with a simple question, "what if it rained?" and is answered with a carefree attitude - "we didn't care". The singer's partner is characterized as an optimist who believes that the sun is going to shine someday soon and turns out to be right. The love they share is described as "so fine" and the singer is grateful for it.


The second verse of the song reflects upon the singer's state of mind before he met his soulmate. He says that he often felt lost and was waiting for a sign. But then he met his partner, and she changed everything for him. He vows to love her for life and remembers the reasons why every day. He acknowledges the confidence that she brings to his life by saying that because of her, he can fly without a care.


The song ends on a hopeful note, with the singer being sure that his partner will be there for him when the sun eventually shines. The lyrics are simple yet profound, and McCartney's interpretation is heartfelt.

I am deaf and I love this video. I so love seeing hearing people learning sign language and this is such a beautiful video! I replay it as many times as I can. I just feel the emotion from it. Just beautiful. Natalie Portman especially did it beautifully.

Were you born deaf, or did you loose your hearing progressively? I was wondering if you ever hear music in your mind, just like how ppl hear an inner voice? Be Well, and thanks for your time!

I'm an ASL interpreter at my parish. I loved seeing this beautiful song "performed" by Natalie and Johnny. Thank you to everyone involved in it for making this accessible to so many people.
