Found Collin Raye Love Songs CD! Played it loud, but not loud enough to disturb the neighbours.
There is this song that I especially like - both the melody and the lyrics (the lyrics especially). I can stare into nothingness when I listen to this song and I can see myself in the song. Crazy but this is true. This is how engrossed I can become.
Love, Me
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 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
Til 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
Til I see you again
I'll be loving you
Love, Me."
