SONG MEANING

Background of song (who wrote it, why, when): Ryan Key

Song references (musical, literary, real-life):
One of the most touching songs on Paper Walls is “Dear Bobbie,” a wistful song about the 58-year relationship between Key’s grandparents which features recordings of his 87 year-old grandfather reading a love letter to his wife. “The w"Dear Bobbie" - Yellowcard Wikiords I wrote to go with it seem to pale in comparison to hearing him speak. It’s coming from a man who has been in World War II, traveled the world and seen and done it all. He’s been married and in love with the same woman for 58 years, and you can hear it in his voice,” says Key.

SONG LYRICS
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 half the night? I do. I still think of you when we dance, although we cant jitterbug as we did then.

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
I'll fall for you again
I made a promise when
I told you this that night

I'll be fine
When I die then I die loving you
It's alright
I'll be fine
When I die then I die loving you


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.


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 rise
Here or the next life
As long as you're still mine
Then its alright

You have gray hair now but you are 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?
