Karaoké 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 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
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 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 'till 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 the church where me and Grandpa stopped to pray
I know I've never seen him cry in all my fifteen years
But as he said these words to her his eyes fill 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 'till I see you again
I'll be loving you
Love me
Between now and then 'till I see you again
I'll be loving you
Love me
