Remember when we first heard that? It sounded so far away to be UNTHINKABLE! Well, it's HERE. Where did the time go?

Congrats for making it!!!! I have only one more year.

When I'm 64 lyrics
Songwriters: Mccartney, Paul; Lennon, John;

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 'til 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
Ah, 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?
[From: http://www.elyrics.net/read/b/beatles-lyrics/when-i_m-64-lyrics.html ]
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 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?

I'm a few short years behind you and identify strongly with your self-characterization. Best to you.

Great combination--tree hugger and Vietnam vet.

Let the Repugs go on hating--that's all they know how to do. We liberals will save the world yet!
