When I'm Sixty Four

The Beatles

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 morning 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 for everm

About this Song

When I'm Sixty Four by The Beatles is a charming song from their album 'Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band'. Written by Paul McCartney, it nostalgically explores the themes of aging, love, and companionship. Imagining a future where the narrator and their partner grow old together, the song whimsically asks if their love will still endure. Key themes include long-term commitment, domestic life, and the passage of time. Particularly poignant moments are lines like 'Will you still need me, will you still feed me, when I'm sixty-four?', capturing the vulnerability and hope inherent in the prospect of lifelong love.
