I'm Only Sleeping

Chapter 3 - A New Song

While Paul was needed in the studio the next day, Jasmine sits in her room, listening to some of her Beatles records. The one she's listening to is Help! She sat and listened, until her two favorite songs on the album came up. For the first, she was still sitting down, but gracefully swaying to the beat.

Here I stand head in hand
Turn my face to the wall
If she's gone I can't go on
Feeling two-foot small

Everywhere people stare
Each and every day
I can see them laugh at me
And I hear them say

Hey you've got to hide your love away
Hey you've got to hide your love away

How can I even try
I can never win
Hearing them, seeing them
In the state I'm in

How could she say to me
Love will find a way
Gather round all you clowns
Let me hear you say

Hey you've got to hide your love away
Hey you've got to hide your love away

Jasmine loved the flute that played at the end. Three songs later, she immediately stood up and sang at the top of her lungs.

You're gonna lose that girl
(Yes, yes, you're gonna lose that girl)
You're gonna lose that girl
(Yes, yes, you're gonna lose that girl)

If you don't take her out tonight
She's gonna change her mind
(She's gonna change her mind)
And I will take her out tonight
And I will treat her kind
(I'm gonna treat her kind)

You're gonna lose that girl
(Yes, yes, you're gonna lose that girl)
You're gonna lose that girl
(Yes, yes, you're gonna lose that girl)
If you don't treat her right, my friend
You're gonna find her gone
(You're gonna find her gone)

Cause I will treat her right, and then
You'll be the lonely one
(You're not the only one)

You're gonna lose that girl
(Yes, yes, you're gonna lose that girl)
You're gonna lose that girl
(Yes, yes, you're gonna lose that girl)
You're gonna lose
(Yes, yes, you're gonna lose that girl)

I'll make a point
Of taking her away from you, (watch what you do) yeah,
The way you treat her what else can I do?

(You're gonna lose that girl)
(You're gonna lose that girl)

You're gonna lose that girl
(Yes, yes, you're gonna lose that girl)
You're gonna lose that girl
(Yes, yes, you're gonna lose that girl)
You're gonna lose
(Yes, yes, you're gonna lose that girl)

I'll make a point
Of taking her away from you, (watch what you do) yeah,
The way you treat her what else can I do?

If you don't take her out tonight
She's gonna change her mind
(She's gonna change her mind)
And I will take her out tonight
And I will treat her kind
(I'm gonna treat her kind)

You're gonna lose that girl
(Yes, yes, you're gonna lose that girl)
You're gonna lose that girl
(Yes, yes, you're gonna lose that girl)
You're gonna lose
(Yes, yes, you're gonna lose)
That girl.

Jasmine remembered hearing those two songs in the film, Help! Shortly after finishing the record, the sound of the door opening occurs. Paul has arrived home. "Jasmine, darling, I'm home!" He hollered. Jasmine makes her way downstairs and greets her husband with a kiss. "How was work, sweetheart?" She asked. "It was great. John and I recorded our new song and one that I'd like to sing for you now." Said Paul. "Ooh, I'd love to hear it!" Said Jasmine.

The two make their way into the living, Paul picks up his guitar, tunes it, and sings his heart out.

Good day sunshine
Good day sunshine
Good day sunshine

I need to laugh, and when the sun is out
I've got something I can laugh about
I feel good, in a special way
I'm in love and it's a sunny day

Good day sunshine
Good day sunshine
Good day sunshine

We take a walk, the sun is shining down
Burns my feet as they touch the ground

Good day sunshine
Good day sunshine
Good day sunshine

And then we lie, beneath a shady tree
I love her and she's loving me
She feels good, she knows she's looking fine
I'm so proud to know that she is mine

Good day sunshine
Good day sunshine
Good day sunshine

Good day sunshine
Good day sunshine
Good day sunshine

Good day sunshine

After Paul finished singing, Jasmine applauds for him. "That was amazing, Paulie! It's perfect for a beautiful, sunny day!" She said. "Thank you, love. You're absolutely right about that. No wonder we named this song Good Day Sunshine." Paul said. Jasmine nods and kisses Paul on his cheek.

For the rest of the day, the couple spent some time snuggling on the couch. "I don't know about you, Paul, but I feel like going out for a romantic lunch tomorrow." Jasmine said. Paul nods and kisses his wife on the temple. "That sounds perfect, darling. A romantic lunch is just what we need." He said. Jasmine caresses Paul's cheek. "Besides, we deserve to go somewhere quite romantic to enjoy a meal made for two." She said. "And I know just the place." Said Paul.

As the couple continues chatting, they eventually fall asleep together on the couch with their arms wrapped around each other. Tomorrow is definitely going to be a lovely one. What could possibly go wrong?
