I read a note my grandma wrote back in 1923
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
Grandmas daddy didnt 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
I found this letter
And this is what it said
If you get there before I do
Don't give up on me
Ill meet you when my ch*res are through
I dont know how long Ill be
But Im not gonna let you down
Darling wait and see
And between now and then til I see you again
Ill 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 Id never seen him cry in all my 15 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
Ill meet you when my ch*res are through
I dont know how long Ill be
But Im not gonna let you down
Darling wait and see
And between now and then til I see you again
Ill be loving you, love me
Between now and then til I see you again
Ill be loving you, love, me
