When I'm Sixty-Four

Why not sponsor a child for Christmas in 2008?
When I'm Sixty-Four is a popular love song by The Beatles, written by Paul McCartney (but co-credited to John Lennon) and released in 1967 on their album Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. It is sung by a young man to his love, about the perils of growing old together. It begins
When I get older, losing my hair,
many years from now,
will you still be sending me a valentine,
birthday greetings, bottle of wine?

and the chorus runs:

...will you still need me,
will you still feed me,
when I'm sixty-four?

The song accompanies the "Sea of Time" sequence in the film Yellow Submarine.

The song was parodied by The Rutles as "Back in '64" on the album Archaeology.
