Lyrics:

I read a note my grandma wrote
Back in 1923
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 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
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 trials are through
I don't know how long I'll be
But I'm not gonna let you down
Darlin', wait and see
So between now and then
'Til I see you again
I'll be lovin' you
Love, me

I read these words just hours before
My grandma passed away
In the doorway of the church
Where me and Grandpa stopped to pray
Although I'd never seen him cry
In all my fifteen 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 trials are through
I don't know how long I'll be
But I'm not gonna let you down
Darlin', wait and see
So between now and then
'Til I see you again
I'll be lovin' you

Love, me

I'll be lovin' you
Love, me
