When I'm 64

 Kathy has made this Beatles song her theme song for the year.  

The lyrics spoke to me as I also turn 64 this year.  As I told her I guess it's my theme song too.

Lyrics
When I get older losing my hairMany years from nowWill you still be sending me a ValentineBirthday greetings, bottle of wineIf I'd been out till quarter to threeWould you lock the doorWill you still need me, will you still feed meWhen I'm sixty-four
You'll be older tooAnd if you say the wordI could stay with you
I could be handy, mending a fuseWhen your lights have goneYou can knit a sweater by the firesideSunday mornings go for a rideDoing the garden, digging the weedsWho could ask for moreWill you still need me, will you still feed meWhen I'm sixty-four
Every summer we can rent a cottageIn the Isle of WightIf it's not too dearWe shall scrimp and saveGrandchildren on your kneeVera, Chuck & Dave
Send me a postcard, drop me a lineStating point of viewIndicate precisely what you mean to sayYours sincerely, wasting away
Give me your answer, fill in a formMine for evermoreWill you still need me, will you still feed meWhen I'm sixty-four, hoo

    Even though I'm 64 + 4.5, thanks for sending the lyrics. I remember the tune well. Linda in Kansas

    They won't write them like that any more ... when I'm 64.

    God bless.

    Thanks for the shout out! Aren't 64-year old people the best?

    I had a mug years ago that said "will you love me when I'm 64" Well, I haven't found a mug that says "Will you love me when I'm 81" HaHa

    I've always liked this song, Christine. Of course, I'm a few years past 64 now. Sometimes, that just doesn't seem possible.
    Blessings!

    You enjoy that 64. I'm getting closer to Ed Sheeran's "70". I think Paul McCartney needs to catch up with a song for the 80-yr-olds. Everyone is living longer these days ...... or hope to.
