The story behind the song

This song is a tender look at growing old together, sung by a young man to his beloved as he imagines their shared future. It’s a charming picture of enduring love, complete with grandchildren and simple pleasures. Paul McCartney wrote the melody when he was just 14, at a time when he was exploring a cabaret style before rock and roll truly took hold. The song, featured on the 1967 album Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, even had its recording sped up to make his voice sound younger, fitting its youthful perspective on aging. It plays like a sweet, hopeful promise of a lifetime together.
