When I'm Sixty Four - The Beatles
Written By: Lennon-McCartney
Released: 2 June 1967 (NZ)
Lyrics
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 (we shall scrimp and save)
Grandchildren on your knee
Vera, Chuck, and 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 forevermore
Will, you still need me
Will, you still feed me
When I'm sixty-four?
