The Beatles - When I'm Sixty-Four

The Beatles - When I'm Sixty-Four (Copyright 1967 EMI Records)

This is a great song that shows what will happen when you reach this ripe old age! It's definitely a good relaxing song! I have added the lyrics in sync with the music so you can sing along, or perhaps learn the song! This is how I learned my first Beatles song!

Additional Comments From Others:

I heard that the chuckle during the last refrain is Paul laughing cause John walked by and mooned him.

I also have hear that Paul wrote this when he was 16, but that's from Paul and who knows if anything he says is true at this point.

The line "You're sincerely wasting away" should be "Yours sincerely, Wasting Away". A common signature in a letter or postcard is "Yours sincerely" followed by the writer's name or pseudonym; in this case they're signing it, "Wasting Away".

"When I'm Sixty-Four" is one of the first love songs by Paul McCartney, written when he was sixteen. The Beatles often used it in the early days as a song they could play when the amplifiers broke down or the electricity went off. Both George Martin and Mark Lewisohn falsely speculated that McCartney may have thought of the song when recording began for Sgt. Pepper in December 1966 because his father turned 64 earlier that year.

Written and sang by Paul McCartney. Actually written for his father's birthday or 64th birthday.

ya great song but u missed like an entire bridge verse I'd guess you'd call it but amazing The Beatles r sick great writing skills

It·s a lovely love song, still more tender listening it now when one·s near sixty-four. Amazing that it was written only imaging how it could be been sooooo old!

This song reminds me of my grandparents. They'd play it for me over and over because I liked it so much.
