Do You Remember When...?

The night I met Dave, I was with my friend Michelle, she was going on a date with Zach (Dave’s friend) so they brought us along (Dave and I) so it would not be awkward for them but instead for all of us =] I’m so glad I went cause I almost backed out last minute cause I didn’t want to meet or date a boy my age (I liked them older, mature, and established. Anyway my friend Michelle heard this song that we fell in love with, we often text parts of the lyrics randomly to each other and whenever we see each other we listen to it and sing. But this became a repeated song in our cars.

It’s a beautiful song about an old couple (Bobby and her husband) and he is reminiscing about old times and telling old story’s and a lot of “remember when’s..?’’ in fact the name of the song is Dear Bobby.

It a ‘me and David’ song for sure!

What’s not to love about the 50s and 60s though since were on the topic.

Bangs, black and white saddle shoes, pink poodle skirts, pleated skirts, curly hair, pony tails, guys with hair like Elvis, Elvis, muscle cars, Marylin Monroe, Audrey Hepburn, swing dancing, black and white movies, leather jackets, motorcycles, drive in movies, dances, jazz bands, Johnny cash…. =]]] the list could go on and on! The best movies were also filmed in this ‘era’.

Well this is the song that is all about my life with Dave….

(old husband speaking) Dear Bobbie,

Do you remember when you were young and very pretty? I do.

I remember pleated skirts and black and white saddle shoes.

Do you remember dancing half the night? I do

 I still think of you when we dance although we can’t jitter bug as we did then.

(singing) Do you remember when how long has it been?

1945

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 every day begins ill fall for you again. I made a promise when I told you this that night.

I’ll be fine

When I die than I die lovin you

It’s alright I’ll be fine, when I die then I die lovin you

(old husband speaking) Do you remember the times we would give up on each other then get back together? We finally was married in 1949. We drove the yellow convertible on our honeymoon. Do you remember? I do.

(singing)Life has led us here together all these years this house that we have made holds 20,000 days the memories we’ve saved since life has led us here

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 ride here or the next life as long as you’re still mine than its alright

(old husband speaking)You have grey 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?
