When I get older, losing my hairMany years from nowWill you still be sending me a Valentine?Birthday greetings, bottle of wine? If I'd been out till quarter to threeWould you lock the door?Will you still need meWill you still feed meWhen I'm sixty-four? You'll be older tooAnd if you say the wordI could stay with you I could be handy mending a fuseWhen your lights have goneYou can knit a sweater by the firesideSunday mornings, go for a ride Doing the garden, digging the weedsWho could ask for more?Will you still need meWill you still feed meWhen I'm sixty-four? Every summer we can rent a cottageIn the Isle of Wight, if it's not too dearWe shall scrimp and save (we shall scrimp and save)Grandchildren on your kneeVera, Chuck, and Dave Send me a postcard, drop me a lineStating point of viewIndicate precisely what you mean to sayYours sincerely, wasting away Give me your answer, fill in a formMine for evermoreA-will you still need meWill you still feed meWhen I'm sixty-four? Spoken:Hoo!

We were talking - about the space between us allAnd the people - who hide themselves behind a wall of illusionNever glimpse the truth - then it's far too late - when they pass away.We were talking - about the love we all could share - when we find itTo try our best to hold it there - with our loveWith our love - We could save the world - if they only knew. Try to realise it's all within yourself no-one else can make you changeAnd to see you're really only very smalland life flows on within you and without you. We were talking - about the love that's gone so cold and the people,Who gain the world and lose their soul -they don't know - they can't see - are you one of them? When you've seen beyond yourself - then you may find,peace of mind, is waiting there -And the time will come when you see we're all one, and life flows on within you and without you.
