Verse 1:   I read a note my Grandma wrote   Back in 1923   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 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:      Chorus:   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      Verse 2:   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've never seen him cry   In all my fifteen years   But as he said these words to her   His eyes filled up with tears      Chorus:   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      Breakdown:   And between now and then   Until I see you again   I'll be loving you . . .   Love me
