“Love me” lyrics
He showed it once to me
He said boy you might not understand
But a long long time ago
Your grandma’s daddy didn’t like me no
But I loved your grandma so
We had this crazy plant to meet
And run away together
Get married in the next 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
Until I see you again
I’ll be loving you
Love me
I read those words just hours before
My grandma passed away
In a doorway of a church
Where me and grandpa stopped to pray
And I know I’ve never seen him cry
In all my 15 years
But as he said those 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
And between now and then until I see you again
I’ll be loving you
Love me
