Love Me - Country Love

I read a note my grandma wrote

Back in nineteen twenty-three

Grandpa kept it in his coat and

He showed it once to me He said

"Boy you might not understand

But a long long time ago

Grandma's daddy didn't like me none

But I loved your Grandma so "

We had this crazy plan to meet

And run away together

Get married in the first town we came to

And live forever

But nailed to the tree where

We were supposed to meet instead

Of her I found this letter

And this is what it said:

If you get there 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 see

And between now and then

till I see you again

I'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 pray

I know I'd never seen him cry in all my fifteen years;

But as he said these words to her

His eyes filled up with tears

If you get there 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 see

And between now and then

Till I see you again

I'll be loving you Love me

Between now and then

Till I see you again

I'll be loving you Love me
