"Grow Old With Me" is one of the last songs written by John Lennon. It was recorded by Lennon as a demo while in Bermuda in 1980, and later appeared on the posthumous album, Milk and Honey in 1984. It was also considered as a possible reunion single by his former bandmates during the making of The Beatles Anthology. This was the third song given by Yoko for the Paul, Ringo, and George to complete for the Anthology (along with Now and Then, Free as a Bird and Real Love) George Martin added an orchestral score to it for the Lennon Anthology set. Paul McCartney wanted to make this the third Beatles "reunion song," but producer Jeff Lynne told him this would be very difficult because of a hum on the cassette that couldn't be eliminated. Also, George Harrison objected because it was too sad, given the nature of John's death - Yoko couldn't "grow old along with him," as the song urged.
