This could have been schmaltzy but your arrangement prevents that. Had McCartney written it there'd be syrup everywhere, (odd that he hated Spector's Beatle work because of the sweetening - we often hate in others what we see in ourselves), and he'd have added his mawkish phrasing too.
This is a clean reading of a lovely narrative supported by a band that doesn't get in the way.
