Charlie Landsborough – Love Me lyrics

I read a note my grandma wrote back in 1922
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 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
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
So between now and then ?til I see you again
I'll be loving you, love me

I read those words just hours before my grandma past away
In the door way of a church
Where me and grandpa stopped to pray
although I'd never seen him cry in all my 15 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 chores are through
I don't know how long I'll be
But I'm not gonna let you down
Darling wait and see
So between now and then ?til I see you again
I'll be loving you, love me
I'll be loving you, love me
