I read a note my Grandma wroteBack in 1923
Grandpa kept it in his coat
And he showed it once to me
He saidBoy you might not understand, but a long long time ago
Grandma's daddy didn't like me none
And I loved your Grandma so
We had this crazy plan to meet
And run away together
Get married in the first towm we come to and live forever
But nailed to the tree where we supposed to meet instead
I found this letter
And this is what it said:
If you get ther before I do
Don't give up on me
I'll meet you when my chores are through
I don't know how long I'll be
But i'm not gonna let you down
Darling wait and seeAnd between now and then
Until I see you againI'll be loving you . . .Love, Me
I read those words just hours
Before my Grandma passed away
In the doorway of a church
Where me and Grandpa stopped to prayI know I never seen him cry
In all my fifteen years
But as he said those words to her
His eyes filled up with tears
If you get there before I do
Don't give up on meI'll meet you when my chores are through
I don't know how long I'll be
But i'm not gonna let you down
Darling wait and see
And between now and then
Until I see you againI'll be loving you . . .Love, Me
And between now and thenUntil I see you againI'll be loving you . . .Love, Me
