Now he's sixty-four

[ribbon]

Sunday, Jule eighteenth is Paul McCartney's sixty-fourth birthday :notes :notes :notes :notes :notes :notes :balloons (and a holy day in my house :muhaha). He wrote the song with John Lennon, who sadly will never turn sixty-four. They wrote the song thirty-nine years ago, in nineteen-sixty-seven and sixty-four years of age probably sounded REALLY far away.


I love When I'm Sixty-four and sing it to everyone on their birthday :supergrin. You can listen to it here (McCartney's version, not mine :muhaha) http://www.delta.ro/beatles/paudi.html (scroll down the songs are listed alphabetically).
I heard he's re-releasing the song for his birthday and I'll be sure to get a copy.



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?

Hmm------mmm---mmmh.
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 Wightif 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

:cool I saw a commercial on TV about this. I thought about you, knowing how much you love the Beatles. (I expect your version on my bday! :muhaha)
It's an awesome song, from wonderful artists. It would be great if John Lennon was here to celebrate it with him.

I'm having such a hard time believing that hardly anyone else (in the :bowl and in real time) is as excited about this as I am :zoinks. I must have talked to a dozen or more people about this and only one was as excited as me :help :ohboy :supergrin.

Keep in mind a lot of people in the bowl are young enough to wonder if Paul had a band before Wings. :sarcasm

:bounce :bounce

I love that he was only twenty-five years old when he wrote that. Sixty-four must have seemed like a lifetime away! (As it does to me, at twenty-six!)

Paul is my permanent boyfriend. :sarcasm

:hugonanais:hugoff He's available and you're about the right age :winky.

The thing is, most of my real time friends and family are older than me and they weren't even excited :ohboy. I changed my ringtone to play "When I'm sixty-four" to honor the occasion :supergrin.
