From Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band and 9 other releases

“When I’m Sixty-Four” is a 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 lover, and is about his plans of growing old together with her. Although the theme is about aging, it was one of the first songs McCartney wrote, when he was sixteen.

When I get older losing my hair
Many years from now
Will you still be sending me a valentine
Birthday greetings, bottle of wine?

    All their songs are good & some are better then others but i really can't find one song that i don't like. The Beatles that i really loved justwhen i was a little kid & i will always love their music but today i love Blues but i still love all the music i grew up with.just like we all did.

    Whew, I once saw an idiot trying to do the twist to this! It was horrifying! Then, I stepped away from the mirror and recovered quite nicely! Aside from all of that, anything that The Beatles do, with VERY few exceptions, gets multiple hearts & stars!!!!!

    It's sad that there were only two Beatles who actually made it to the age of sixty-four. :-(

    This song is much more bitter and sarcastic than most people give it credit for.
