Grandma's Note

I read a note my grandma wrote

back in 1923

Grandpa kept it in his coat

And he showed once to me

He said now son you might not understand

But a long long time ago

Gandma'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 too 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

I'll meet you when my chores are through

I dont know how long I'll be

But im not gonna let you down

Darling wait and see

'Cause between now and then, till i see you again

I'll be loving you, love me

I read these words just hours before

My grandma passed away

In the doorway of the church where me and grandpa stop to pray

I know i've never seen him cry

In all my 15 years

but as he read 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 dont know how long I'll be

But im not gonna let you down

Darling wait and see

'Cause between now and then, till i see you again

I'll be loving you, love me

If you get there before i do

Don't give up on me

I'll meet you when my chores are through

I dont know how long I'll be

But im not gonna let you down

Darling wait and see

'Cause between now and then, till i see you again

I'll be loving you, love me
