Love Me Lyrics - Charlie Landsborough

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
