The song lyrics describe asking a romantic partner if they will still care for and support the singer as they age. It references growing older and losing hair, as well as engaging in everyday activities together like gardening, knitting by the fire, and going for Sunday rides. The singer hopes that when they turn 64 years old, their partner will say they can stay together and will still need and feed them.

1. When I get older losing my hair ( 1 ) Many years from now ( 2 ) Will you still be sending me a Valentine Birthday greetings, bottle of wine ( 3 ) If I'd been out till quarter to three ( 4 ) Would you lock the door ( 5 ) Will you still need me, will you still feed me (6 ) When I'm sixty-four ( 7 ) 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 ( 8 ) You can knit a sweater by the fireside ( 9 ) Sunday morning, go for a ride ( 10 ) Doing the garden, digging the weeds ( 11 ) Who could ask for more. Will you still need me, will you still feed me ( 6 ) When I'm sixty-four. ( 7 ) Every summer we could rent a cottage ( 12 ) In the Isle of White, if it’s not too dear We shall scrimp and save ( 13 ) Grandchildren on your knee Vera, Chuck, and Dave ( 14 ) 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 ( 15 ) Will you still need me, will you still feed me ( 6 ) When I'm sixty-four ( 7 ) http ://sites.google.com/site/mki2001ppt 1 2 3 4 5 6 64 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 When I’m Sixty-Four
