IF YOU knew Paul McCartney as well as we at STAR TIME do, you wouldn’t think — even for a minute — that he’d be the type who deliberately made a girl cry. But the truth is — he did it!
The most amazing thing about this whole situation is that the girl who cried was Jane Asher! It didn’t happen very long ago. In fact, it all took place just a short while after one of those “Paul’s-engaged-to-Jane-for-sure” episodes.
Paul had been on a very short vacation. Actually, it was more like a weekend “away from it all.” The minute he got home, the telephone rang. It was Jane.
“Did you have a nice time?” she asked.
“Nice, but too short,” Paul answered.
“Can you come over tonight?” Jane wanted to know.
“That’s just what I had in mind,” Paul told her. “Is eight o’clock okay?”
Even then, as Paul hung up the phone and smiled mysteriously to himself, he knew he’d make Jane cry that night. And oddly enough, he couldn’t wait for it to happen — so he could see her cry!
At eight o’clock on the dot, Paul was at Jane’s door. He kissed her “hello” as usual and talked to her family about the weather, The Beatles, the stock market and the British government. Then he and Jane went into the kitchen to be alone for a few minutes.
“Ummm, I’m so glad to see you again,” Jane said as she hugged Paul. “I missed you something terrible!” He laughed. “But I’ve only been gone for a few days, Janie.”
“But it seemed like ages,” Jane smiled up into his eyes. “Absolute ages!”
Then Paul whispered something in her ear. Jane stared at him, her eyes wide.
“No,” she whispered, half-to-herself.
Paul smiled at her and held out his hand. It was then that Jane started to cry — just as Paul had wanted! She stood there with the tears rolling down her cheeks, trying to stop but not being able to. And all that time, Paul was laughing!
But don’t get the wrong idea. It isn’t quite what you think. You see, Jane was crying because she was happy! And Paul, from the very beginning, had wanted to make her happy!
Paul told us, “While I was on that little vacation, I picked up a charm for Jane. I had it engraved with a special code on the back. It meant something very special to Janie and myself. That night, I gave it to her!”
And that’s what made Jane cry! But how did Paul know she would? Simple. Jane always cries when she’s really and truly happy. And Paul certainly was one person who knew that. And now you know it, too.
