I read a note my grandma wrote back in 1922 
My Grandpa kept it in his coat and he showed it once to me 
Said son you might not understand 
But a long, long time ago 
Your grandma’s daddy didn’t like me none 
But I love 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 
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 
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 
So between now and then ‘til 
I see you again 
I’ll be loving you, love me 
I read those words just hours before my grandma past away 
In the door way of a church 
Where me and grandpa stopped to pray although 
I’d never seen him cry in all my 15 years 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 
So between now and then ‘til 
I see you again 
I’ll be loving you, love me 
I’ll be loving you, love me
