1959 - John Anderson

Cigarettes were a quarter then

Bobby-socks and jeans were in

Elvis sang the songs that we loved so

But the most important thing to us

Was keepin' gas in my old truck

So I could take us to the drive-in show

I never will forget the day

That you and I went all the way

I was the first for you — and you for me

I’ve still got the truck that we loved in

It takes me back there now and then

Back to '59 my memory

And

Baby I’m yours

I’ll love you always

I’m gonna stand by you until the end of time

Remember all of the good things

That we shared together

Signed — love Betty — 1959

Graduation finally came

Uncle Sam called me away

You married someone else while I was gone

I kept your letters all these years

And I can’t help but shed a tear

When I read the words you wrote me years ago

Baby I’m yours

I’ll love you always

I’m gonna stand by you until the end of time

Remember all of the good things

That we shared together

Signed — love Betty — 1959
