Jay's Song In My Heart - Day 49

"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’ve 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 skrimp 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 the form
Mine forever more
Will you still need me, will you still feed me
When I’m sixty four
