Love, Me


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 int 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 until 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 until I see you again
I'll be loving you. Love, Me.

Between now and then until I see you again
I'll be loving you. Love, Me.
