When I'm 64

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

1. Ah, Sir Paul

64, indeed. One of my favorite songs...

[DoYouEverWonder]

2. Jeez, I remember when the idea of being 64

seemed so far away.

Happy Birthday to 'Sir' Paul.

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

7. Yes, it did and being a little less than 10 years away from 64 myself,

I'm astonished how quickly it all went.

I'm sure when Paul co-wrote the song, he couldn't even conceive the twists and turns his life took. My thoughts turn too, to John (who would have been 65) and George(who would have been 63), never reaching that milestone. Ringo is 65 soon to be 66! OMG!!!!

3. Looks like Paul hits the Grecian Formula pretty regularly.

[Cooley Hurd]

4. Happy Birthday, Paul!

5. "When I'm 64" was our wedding song

Neither of us can dance & we thought we'd make people laugh. It was alot of fun.

Sad to think that the guy who wrote it's going through a very messy public divorce. All right, it serves him right marrying someone young enough to be his daughter, but still, it's sad.

Had Linda lived, not doubt they'd be playing it at the birthday party.

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

8. What a great song for your wedding! Maybe if my ex and I thought of it,

with that long term goal in sight, who knows? Nah.... I don't think that would have worked.

As to Paul and his divorce. It's so sad I'm sure for all concerned. I dislike my being judgemental about the age difference but I find that I am. I have been involved with men older and with men younger than myself, and the last meaningful relationship was with a man 20 years older than me. The age gap was too wide for me. I became squeemish being involved with someone who was so close in age to my Dad. We are still friends though and that is wonderful.

[bklyncowgirl]

9. Yeah we wanted to do something different.

A few traditionalists were offended but most loved it.

About Paul. He may be a great musician but perhaps not the smartest guy in the world where his money is concerned. If you're a 60 something rock star who's considering marrying a much younger woman--a visit to your lawyer to work out a pre-nup might be a good idea even though it puts a damper on the romance thing.

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

12. I read that Heather offered to sign a pre-nupt and he didn't want one.

That might have been a very good ploy on her part to show that she loved him so much she would sign one. At least that was my gut feeling when I read about that. What often happens is that when a man has a wonderful marriage and his wife passes, he has expectations that the new marriage will be just as happy. Obviously this wasn't the case, and he and his children from his marriage with Linda are going to be paying for it.

[Floogeldy]

24. Is Heather going after Paul's money?

?

[PassingFair]

27. Apparently, and I heard she was...

hopping mad!

Sorry.

[Floogeldy]

28. That was cruel.

Gawd.

[PassingFair]

29. No. The cruel part comes in court when she finds out that she...

doesn't have a leg to stand on.


Doubly sorry.
I should be sleeping now.
Did I say sorry?

[Floogeldy]

30. Ugh!

Rumor has it that she is not just going to walk away from this thing.

[PassingFair]

31. Ob-la-di!

Life goes on.....

:)

[Floogeldy]

23. Maybe he loves her and didn't care if she got the money?

I reject your ignorant judgment about Paul's intelligence.

[AnOhioan]

6. Great song, great talent

Happy 64th Paul :toast:

10. My Birthday Song for Paul.

http://www.columbusrecording.com/sounds/Happy%20Birthday,%20Paul.mp3

It's a bit rough but hey, it was written and recorded in about four hours!

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

17. That was great! Big grin on my face here! I'm sure Paul would love it!

Thank you for writing, performing and sharing it! :) :hi:

[Lorien]

11. Kind of bittersweet

he's one of the only ones to make it to 64, but he arrived there without Linda (kind of hard not to think about it when reading the lyrics of the song).

[Patsy Stone]

13. Happy Birthday, Beatle Paul!

I do still need you, I will still feed you.

A joyous 64th!

:loveya:

[Tsiyu]

14. happy Birthday

Paul

[ificandream]

15. Just wondering...

...how many of you female DU'ers screamed at the their appearances on the Sullivan show in '64?

[laruemtt]

16. guilty!

i still see my parents' faces when they looked at me as though i had lost my mind...

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

18. I didn't. I was 12 at the time and although I enjoyed them, didn't love

them yet. I didn't become a true fan until Rubber Souls came out.

[Greybnk48]

19. My parents owned a "teen bar" in Wisconsin at the time

Beatlemania hit (18 y/o and up--beer only). My dad did not have a T.V. in the bar and would lug ours downstairs from our over the bar apt. for Packer games on Sundays. The first week the Beatles appeared on Sullivan, the girls begged my dad to turn on the T.V. so they could watch, so my sis and I (I was 14) sat in the bar with everyone and watched. The following week, when word got around that we were showing the Beatles at the bar, it was SRO from the bar to the back wall. My sister and I had to line the back bar with cases of beer and my dad let girls come behind the bar and sit on the cases with my sister and I. My dad wouldn't let anyone scream, but my sister and some of the other girls were crying. Anyone who did not experience this would find this hard to believe, but it was awesome.

I can remember the very first time I heard a Beatles song on the car radio and exactly where we were in the car. It was "I want to hold your hand" and I said to her "What IS that?" The sound and the rythyms were so different from anything we had ever heard. The announcer came on after and said it was a group from England called the Beatles--not spelled like the insect beetles--but spelled B-e-a-tles. The rest is history.

It's hard to remember a time when young people only had music as their voice. Otherwise we were virtually ignored by adults--for a couple more years anyway :evilgrin:


Happy Birthday Paul!!

You have been a great influence on the world. I am disheartened when younger people who didn't live through his career mock and tease him.

Thanks, Paul.

:)

[Lady Effingbroke]
