When I get older dying my hair,
Just two days from now,
Will you still be sending me a valentine
Birthday greetings bottle of wine?
If I'd been out till quarter to three
Would you lock the door,
Will you still need me, will you still read me,
When I'm sixty-four?
oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oooo
You'll be older too, (ah ah ah ah ah)
And if you say the word,
I could stay with you.
I could be handy writing a post
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 read me,
When I'm sixty-four?
Every summer we can garage sale
In the light of dawn, if it's not too far
We shall scrimp and save
Grandchildren on our knee
Bloggers one, two, three
Send me a postcard, drop me a line,
Stating point of view.
Indicate precisely what you mean to say
Yours sincerely, Wasting Away. (well not really – you know – the pink cupcakes and all!)
Give me your answer, fill in a form
Mine for evermore
Will you still need me, will you still read me,
When I'm sixty-four?
So can you guess how old I'll be on my birthday Sunday?
So will you still read me, will I be blogging, will I still d0 Pink Saturday…when I'm 64?
xoxo Nancy

Hello Nancy
ReplyDeleteI haven't been by for a long time, but was looking at PS thumbnails at Beverly's blog and spotted your sweet pink shelf.
I ADORE the little pink cupcake man and the girl with the round wooden head. You always have such sweet things.
I couldn't open your song list, being in Canada and all, but I sure am singing it in my head right now. LOVE your version of it.
HaPpY BiRtHdAy Nancy. May you have a perfect year.
Love Claudie
