When I'm 64


「When I'm 64」 By The Beatles
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 be 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 mornings 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 forever more
Will you still need me, will you still feed me,
When I'm sixty-four?

ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
暑期課程的最後一天,老師帶著大家唱這首The Beatles的歌曲。復古、輕快的節奏中,蘊藏對未來的浪漫幻想。64歲似乎不再遙遠可怕,只要身邊有所愛的人一起相伴。

最後分享一段這星期TIME裡面Gene非常喜歡的一段話。
