Lyrics

Bobby got a crush on Mary
See him sittin? at the playground way over there
He?s got her picture in a locket
That he keeps in his pocket just to take it out
So he can sigh and stare
Young love, made up his mind
He?s gonna marry that girl someday
He kneels down by his bed to bow his little head
Every night to pray

Will she love me for the next fifty years
Will she trust me with her heart so pure and sincere
When my hands are turning cold
And the devil takes my soul
Will she love me when I?m Old Greybeard

Fifteen years go runnin? by and the more things change
The more they stay the same
From the carefree world of little boys and girls
Comes the grown up things like love and hope and pain
Now it?s a strong love, made up his mind
He?s gonna ask her that very day
Steeling his nerve to find the words
He?s waited so long to say

Will you love me for the next fifty years
Will you trust me with her heart so pure and sincere
When my hands are turning cold
And the devil takes my soul
Will you love me when I?m Old Greybeard

Bobby?s got a crush on Mary
They?ve got a lifetime of memories that they share
He?s got her picture in a locket
That he keeps in his pocket just to take it out
So he can sigh and stare
Time flies, they?re growing older
As they watch their bodies fade
Oh but every night he still kneels by her side
And takes her hand to say

Will you love me for the next fifty years
Will you trust me with her heart so pure and sincere
Now my hands are turning cold
And the devil?s come to take my soul
Will you love me now that I?m Old Greybeard
