I'll fall for you a[F]gain

I made a promise [G]when

I told you this that [C]night

 Dear Bobbie,
 (C, Em)
 Do you remember when you were young and very pretty? I do, I remember pleated skirts,
 black and white sattle shoes. Do you remember dancing that night?
 I do, I still think of you when we dance, although we cant jitterbug as we did then.
 
 Verse 1:

 How long has it [C]been?
 194[Am]5 you opened my blue [F]eyes
 To see a whole new [G]life
 Do you remember [C]when
 I told you this that [Am]night,
 That if you're by my [C]side
 When everyday [Am]begins
 I'll fall for you a[F]gain
 I made a promise [G]when
 I told you this that [C]night
 
 Chorus:
 And I'll be [F]fine
 Cause when I [C]die, then I [G]die loving [Am]you
 It's al[C]right, I'll be [F]fine
 Cause when I [C]die then I d[G]ie loving y[Am]ou
 Dm F (C,Em)
 Loving you, loving you
 
 (C, Em)
 Do you remember the times we would give up on each other and get back together,
 then we finally was married in 1949. We drove the yellow convertible all night long.
 Do you remember? I do.
 
 Verse 2:
 [C] Life has led us [Am]here
 Together all these [C]years
 This house that we have [Am]made
 Holds twenty-thousand [F]days
 And memories we've [G]saved
 Since life has lead us [C]here
 
 (Repeat Chorus)
 
 Interlude: C-Em-C-Em-F-G
 
 Verse 3:
 C(hold) Am(hold)
 I'm coming home to you
 C(hold)
 Stepping off my shoes
 Am(hold)
 Resting in my chair
 F(hold)
 See you standing there
 G(hold)
 The silver in your hair
 I'm coming home to [C]you
 When I lay [Am]tonight, when I close my [C]eyes
 I know the sun will [Am]rise
 Here the next [F]life
 As long as your still [G]mine, then its [C]alright
 
 (Repeat chorus)
 
 (C, Em)
 You have gray hair now but you're a beautiful women and the years have been good to both
 us.
 We walk slow now, but we still have each other. The glue of love is still bonding us together.
 That is what I remember. Do you remember?
