Cigarettes were a quarter then,
C
bobby socks and jeans were in,
C Dm7 G
Elvis sang the songs that we loved so,
Dm7 G
and the most important thing to us
Dm7 G Dm7
was keeping gas in my old truck,
Dm7 G C
so I could take us to the drive-in show.
C
Then graduation finally came,
C
Uncle Sam called me away,
C Dm7 G
you married someone else while I was gone,
Dm7 G
but I've kept your letter all these years
Dm7 G
and I can't help but shed a tear,
Dm7 G C
when I read the words you wrote me years ago.
Bb F C
Baby I'm yours, I'll love you always,
Bb F C
I'm gonna stand by you until the end of time,
Bb F C
remember all of the good things that we shared together
Bb F C
signed, love Betty, nineteen fifty nine.
C
I never will forget the day,
C
when you and I went all the way,
C
I was the first for you,
Dm7 G
and you for me,
Dm G
I've still got the truck that we loved in
Dm7 G
it takes me back there now and then,
Dm7 G C
back to fifty nine in my memory.
Bb F C
Baby I'm yours, I'll love you always,
Bb F C
I'm gonna stand by you until the end of time,
Bb F C
remember all of the good things that we shared together
Bb F C
signed, love Betty, nineteen fifty nine.
