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
