Beatles – 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 & 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.

La descripción de la vida de una típica pareja de jubilados británticos sirve a McCartney para realizar una nostálgica previsión de su propia madurez. Al parecer la escribió con ocasión del cumpleaños de su propio padre. En cualquier caso, en ella aparece la clásica duda de la juventud: ¿me querrás aunque sea viejo?
Un precioso tema que ha trascendido a la propia edad de su autor, ya cerca de la setentena. Toda una joya.
