It was a fine day in the fifth grade 
 when mary may let bobby walk her home from school 
 he had her books in hand 
 and he was listening to every word she said 
 like it was the gospel of the prophecies 
 and he loved the way her hair fell across her dress 
 went home singing who wrote the book of love 
 and try a little tenderness, yeah 

 the next day on the playground 
 bobby sat mary down on the swingset behind the sandbox 
 and she said, bobby i just wanna play, 
 so what is this you have to say? 
 he said, mary, marry me. 
 we could live out by the sea 
 like they do on the movie screen. 
 oh, marry me, mary may, 
 before you go back to play 

 it was graduation day 
 they were waiting on a plane to take mary away 
 said, theres nothing left for me here but you 
 bobby, i hope that you can find yourself through 
 theres so much that i wish to know 
 and i have to do this on my own 
 and i hope that you can understand 
 bobby, write me when you can 

 he said, take my highschool ring 
 so time to time now you can think of me 
 and there's just one more thing before you leave 

 he said, mary, marry me 
Find More lyrics at [bad word] 
 we could live out by the sea 
 oh, like they do on the movie screen 
 oh, marry me, mary may, 
 before you are fly away 

 theres so much time has past since that day 
 and mary stopped writing years ago 
 and bobby never took his music on the road 
 guess he never really gave up hope 
 though mary shes got everything she thought she wanted 
 got a phd, she is an independent business woman 
 climbing up the corporate ladder 
 though it really dont seem to matter, 
 she is lonely beyond belief 
 so one day she went home 
 looking for the only love she ever known 

 she found him once again 
 playing circuit at the holiday inn 
 still singing the song about the one he lost long ago 
 just goes to show you never know 

 she took his hand in hers 
 not everything she had planned and rehearsed 
 she said, bobby, marry me 
 we could live in a apartment building with the window hue 
 we could take in movies on the weekend 
 or plan our vacation 
 take a honeymoon by the sea 
 oh bobby, wont you just marry me? 
 wont you just marry me? 
 oh please, marry me 

 it was a fine day in the fifth grade 
 mary may let bobby walk her home from school
