Dear Bobbie

"Dear Bobbie,
Do you remember when you were young and very pretty? I do.
I remember pleated skirts, black and white saddle shoes.
Do you remember dancing that night? I do.
I still think of you when we dance,
Although we can't jitterbug as we did then."

Do you remember when?
How long has it been?
Nineteen forty-five
You opened my blue eyes
To see a whole new life
Do you remember when
I told you this that night
That if you're by my side
When everyday begins
I'll fall for you again
I made a promise when
I told you this that night

I'll be fine
'Cause when I die, then I die loving you
It's all right, I'll be fine
When I die, then I die loving you
Loving you, loving you

"Do you remember the times we would give up on each other and get back together;
Then we finally was married in 1949.
We drove the yellow convertible all night long.
Do you remember? I do."

Life has led us here
Together all these years
This house that we have made
Holds twenty-thousand days
And memories we've saved
Since life has lead us here

And I'll be fine
'Cause when I die, then I die loving you
It's all right, and I'll be fine
'Cause when I die, then I die loving you
Loving you, loving you

I'm coming home to you
Slipping off my shoes
Resting in my chair
I see you standing there
The silver in your hair

I'm coming home to you
When I lay tonight, when I close my eyes
I know the sun will rise
Here or the next life
As long as you're still mine, then it's all right

I'll be fine
'Cause when I die, then I die loving you
It's all right, I'll be fine
'Cause when I die, then I die loving you
Loving you, loving you

"You have gray hair now, but you're a beautiful woman
And the years have been good to both of us.
We walk slow now, but we still have each other.
The glue of love is still bonding us together
Love is what I remember. Do you remember?"
