who wrote grow old along with me...
Based on a poem by Robert Browning, Grow Old With Me was one of John Lennon's final recordings. It was released on the posthumous 1984 collection Milk And Honey. Lennon wrote the song while holidaying in Bermuda in June and July 1980. His handwritten lyrics bore the annotation: Fairylands July 5, 1980 Bermuda. He had been challenged to write it by Yoko Ono, who had written Let Me Count The Ways after the sonnet of the same name by Elizabeth Barrett Browning. Lennon arranged for a collection of Robert Browning's poems to be sent to Bermuda.
