Dear Bobbie – Yellowcard
(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 that night? I do, I still think of you when we dance, although we cant jitterbug as we did back 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 everyday begins
I’ll fall for you again
I made a promise when
I told you this that night
I’ll be fine
Cause when I die, then I die loving you
It’s alright, I’ll be fine
When I die, then I die loving you
Loving you, loving you
(Do you remember the times we would give up on each other and get back together, then we were finally 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 twenty-thousand days
And memories we’ve saved
Since life has led us here
And I’ll be fine (I’ll be fine)
Cause when I die, then I die loving you
It’s alright (it’s alright), I’ll be fine (I’ll be fine)
Cause when I die, then I die loving you
Loving you, loving you
I’m coming home to you
Slipping off my shoes
Resting in my chair
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 your still mine, then it’s alright
And I’ll be fine (I’ll be fine)
Cause when I die, then I die loving you
It’s alright (it’s alright), I’ll be fine (I’ll be fine)
Cause when I die, then I die loving you
Loving you, loving you
(You have gray 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?)

Posteo esta canción de Yellowcard que me parece muy tierna. La voz que se escucha es la de un hombre de 87 años(el abuelo del cantante) leyendo una carta de amor que le escribió a la mujer a la que amó por 58 años…
Creo que al final de los finales es lo que muchos queremos…
(Si comentan, traduzco)
Saludos!
Pd.: la persona a quién se la dedico ya sabe quién es…
