[Intro]
A
[Verse 1]
A Cigarettes were a quarter then A Bobby-socks and jeans were in Bm E Elvis sang the songs that we loved so Bm E The most important thing to us Bm E Was keepin' gas in my old truck Bm E A So I could take us to the drive-in show
[Verse 2]
A Graduation finally came A Uncle Sam called me away Bm E You married someone else while I was gone Bm E I kept your letters all these years Bm E And I can't help but shed a tear Bm E A When I read the words you wrote me years ago
[Chorus]
G Baby I'm yours D A I'll love you always G D A I'm gonna stand by you until the end of time G D Remember all the good things A That we shared together G D A Signed - love Betty - 1959
[Verse 3]
A I never will forget the day A That you and I went all the way Bm E I was the first for you - and you for me Bm E I've still got the truck that we loved in Bm E It takes me back there now and then Bm E A Back to '59 my memory
[Chorus]
G And baby I'm yours D A I'll love you always G D A I'm gonna stand by you until the end of time G D Remember all the good things A That we shared together G D A Signed - love Betty - 1959
