Paul believed he was very lucky to have Linda as his wife, and wrote this song as a tribute to her. It is also an address to her former husband; they married years earlier in 1962 before divorcing in 1965. McCartney 'tells' him that he was a silly man to let Linda go, and that he will never find another one like her.
Although most of it is in a minor key, the dramatic, layered backing vocals and airy rhythm make things a little lighter. You can probably imagine the smugness he had when writing and singing this: "I hope you never know, dear boy, how much you missed/And even when you fall in love, dear boy, it won't be half as good as this".
Burn.
