"From a Window" is a song written by Paul McCartney, attributed to John Lennon and Paul McCartney, which was recorded by Billy J. Kramer with The Dakotas. It was the sixth and final Lennon/McCartney composition that was given to Kramer.

Kramer recorded the song on 29 May 1964 at Abbey Road Studios. George Martin produced the session, which was attended by Lennon and McCartney. McCartney can be heard at the very end of the song, harmonizing on the final word.

"From a Window" was released as a UK single on 17 July 1964: its peak that August at #10 represented an abrupt drop in popularity for Kramer & the Dakotas whose previous chart history comprised four Top 5 hits, two of them #1's. The follow-up to "From a Window": "It's Gotta Last Forever", fell short of the UK Top 50; the subsequent "Trains and Boats and Planes" at #12 punctuated Kramer & the Dakotas' two year UK chart career in the summer of 1965.

In the US - with "I'll Be on My Way" serving as B-side - "From a Window" reached #23 in October 1964; Kramer & the Dakotas' fourth US Top 40 hit in a five month period, it was also their last.

Chad & Jeremy recorded "From a Window" in a December 1964 New York City recording session produced by Jimmie Haskell; the track was featured on the February 1965 album release Chad & Jeremy Sing For You. World Artists Records issued the track as a single that June; by then Chad & Jeremy had more current releases on Columbia Records but their version of "From a Window" received enough regional attention to register on the Billboard Hot 100 at #97.

Billy J. Kramer's version of "From a Window" was included on the 1979 compilation album The Songs Lennon and McCartney Gave Away. A cover version by Graham Parker served as the title track to the 2003 album From a Window: Lost Songs of Lennon & McCartney.

Recordings of "From a Window" as The Beatles may have performed it are available on the 1989 album by Bas Muys entitled Secret Songs: Lennon & McCartney and on the 1998 release It's Four You by the Australian tribute band The Beatnix.

Late yesterday night, I saw a light shine from a window,

and as I looked again, your face came into sight.

I couldn't walk on unil you'd gone from your window.

I had to make you mine, I knew you were the one.

Oh, I would be so glad just to have a love like that,

oh, I would be true and I'd live my life for you.

So meet me tonight, just where the light shines from a window,

and as I take your hand, say that you'll be mine tonight.

Oh, I would be so glad just to have a love like that,

oh, I would be true and I'd live my life for you.

So meet me tonight, just where the light shines from a window,

and as I take your hand, say that you'll be mine tonight.
