June 2006: Paul McCartney turned 64

“When I’m sixty four” is from the Sgt. Pepper’s LP.   

It is the second track on Side 2 of the LP format.   The song follows George Harrison’s “Within you, without you”, which I never understood.  Frankly, it’s hard to listen to 5 minutes of George and his sitar.

On June 2006, Paul turned 64.

I remember listening to the song and joking with my brother about Paul being 64 someday.   Well, it happened!

Get the album and sing along:

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. Aaah, 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 to dear.
We shall scrimp and save.
Ah, 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 forever more.
Will you still need me, will you still feed me, when I’m sixty four?

by John Lennon/Paul McCartney
