When I'm 64 is here!

[MA-Caver]

(Lord) Paul McCartney reaches his 64th birthday. The song he wrote about in Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band Album for the Beatles finally comes to pass. http://music.yahoo.com/read/news/33380240

The lyrics are here:

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.

I remember when I bought that on a 45 when it first came out. How depressing that he is 64 now, and I'm not far behind. TW

*sigh* and to be honest when I hear that song all I can envision is a scene from the movie that featured that song.
