When I'm 64...

This thread is dedicated to Paul McCartney who will be 64 in exactly five days.

When I get older losing my hair
Many years from now
Will you still be sending me a Valentine
Birthday greetings, bottle of wine

If I'd been out till quarter to three
Would you lock the door
Will you still need me, will you still feed me
When I'm sixty-four

You'll be older too
And if you say the word
I could stay with you

I could be handy, mending a fuse
When your lights have gone
You can knit a sweater by the fireside
Sunday mornings go for a ride
Doing the garden, digging the weeds
Who could ask for more
Will you still need me, will you still feed me
When I'm sixty-four

Every summer we can rent a cottage
In the Isle of Wight, if it's not too dear
We shall scrimp and save
Grandchildren on your knee
Vera Chuck & Dave

Send me a postcard, drop me a line
Stating point of view
Indicate precisely what you mean to say
Yours sincerely, wasting away
Give me your answer, fill in a form
Mine for evermore
Will you still need me, will you still feed me
When I'm sixty-four

This great man, besides making part of the greatest band in history, went on to influence millions with his retro-style. With Honey Pie, and When I'm 64, he showed us that old didn't mean bad. With Black Bird, Yesterday, and Mother Nature's Son, he showed that simplicity often overcomes complexity in both brilliance and style. Here's to the man, the dead man, the walrus, Sir Paul McCartney. May he live another 30 years.

Thank you for the lyrics, now I can sing along to it...

Happy 64th McCartney.
