When I'm Sixty-Four - The Beatles

When I'm Sixty-Four


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?


Oooh, you'll be older too

And if you say the word

I could stay with you (Aaaah)


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 Wight, if it's not too dear

We shall scrimp and save (We shall scrimp and save)

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 for evermore

Will you still need me, will you still feed me

When I'm sixty-four?

  突然想起這首歌When I'm Sixty-Four

  細個時唔知唱乜,只知問到了六十四歲時會怎樣。

  看似成熟但也很幼稚,大概有了一個想法,到時會點無人知,但是就有堅持到底的一種衝動,至於後來則要行動來實踐。

  有甚麼值得擔心呢?

  初時只懂問,後來則由兩個來努力,省吃儉用還可以每年去意大利渡假,開玩笑送一個龍珠蛋糕,看着床底厚厚的積塵,廚房天花滿佈的油漬,未必一定兒孫滿堂,當中肯定有一起的歡樂,與酸甜苦辣。

  點樣清積塵,點樣刷油漬,這就是六十四歲後的事了。
