The Fifties
Take my hand
Let me ask for your hand
Like they did back in the fifties
Ask the father for his blessing to marry his daughter
Get on one knee
Surprise her with that ring -
Five weeks of pay
Classic days back in the fifties
Boys and men walking to church
With there best clothes on
Girls and ladies dressed in there dresses hair all up
Sunday ice cream
Our pictures all in black and white
Men smoking and drinking like men do
Woman chattering up the gossip like
Ya- life in the fifties
Oh to go back
Living in the fifties
Simpler time
Love forever to one another
Raise a family
Have a rooftop above your head
Ya life back than
Life in the fifties
