Happy Anniversary
Dub & Barbara Bailey
(Momma and Daddy)
March 31, 1961
"When I'm Sixty-four"
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 been out 'til quarter to three, would you lock the door?
Will you still need me, will you still feed me, when I'm sixty-four?
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?
Send me a postcard, drop me a line stating your 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?
Love you both very much!
Linda
Send Dub & Barb Anniversary Wishes!
