“许多年后，我老了，老到头发都要掉光了，你还会在瓦伦丁寄给我卡片，或者在我的生日的时候捎上瓶好酒来看我吗？如果我半夜三更回家，你会锁了门不让我进来吗？到我64岁的时候，你是不是仍旧会爱我这个糟老头，给我煮上一日三餐吗？
到那个时候你也老了，但是只要你开口，我就会守着你，我会任你差遣，在你家电灯坏了的时候给你换保险丝，你呢可以在火炉旁织毛线。星期天的早上，我们要不开车出去兜风，要不收拾收拾花园，过上这样的日子，此生何求？到我64岁的时候，你是不是仍旧会爱我这个糟老头，给我煮上一日三餐吗？
到我64的时候，我已经儿孙绕膝了，每年夏天我和他们都要到怀特岛去住，如果那里租房不是太贵的话，我可得精打细算地过日子！到时候你别忘了给我寄明信片来，给我捎个话，说说你的境况如何，另外你个老糊涂不要东拉西扯，说些有用的！给我你的答案吧，嫁给我吧，我们一起走到64岁。到我64岁的时候，你是不是仍旧会爱我这个糟老头，给我煮上一日三餐吗？”
<when I’m 64>是保罗·麦卡特尼16岁的时候写的。 （他是42年生人，也就是说歌是1958年写的）
1967年的时候这首歌才出现在< Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band>里，那年保罗的爸爸刚巧64岁。
虽然唱片发行的时候这首歌被归在列农名下，但是列农打心眼里看不上这首歌，其中的市井气息和婆婆妈妈肯定让列农狠煞了。
2006年是老保罗的64岁，
这一年的格莱美颁奖礼上，老保罗和Jay-Z还有Linkin Park合唱了<Numb>和<Yesterday>，
这一年他的挚爱琳达已经过世八年了，
这一年他也算儿孙绕膝，五个孙子孙女加上他和希瑟的女儿，也够他忙活的了，
这一年他和第二任希瑟结婚也有四年了，同时英国媒体开始盛传他要离婚了，
64岁的生日时，他被报纸称赞为婴儿潮一代人里的楷模……
64的老保罗并没有安生得过上修修电灯、收拾收拾花园的日子，他得继续唱啊跳，继续精打细算得过日子，据说去他家吃饭的客人得自己带酒带菜，即使是这样的好日子也不长久了……
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?
You'll be older too
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 morning, 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?
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?
You'll be older too
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 morning, 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!
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 forevermore
Will you still need me, will you still feed me
When I'm sixty-four?
