Booker from the Concert for George sounds like of like "Too late, too

the song. Am I missing something obvious?

I'll buy that. It makes sense in the context of the song, and I think I hear it.

'TRUE LOVE!
Truly True!'
That seems simple, but try playing it backwards - there's a tie-in with an early idea for the title of "Abbey Road."
The 1969 album was to be called something to do with Mount Everest, also associated with a brand of cigarettes so they scrapped that idea; McCartney has likened the title they went with to "Monastery Avenue."
So in reverse the vocals in the coda of 'Old Brown Shoe' sound like repeating,
'Higher -
Than Mount Everest'

However, "True love, truly true" is the best suggestion I've heard. I was previously open to it being nonsense syllables.
