I read a note my grandma wrote back in nineteen twenty-three. |
| [00:17.55] |
Grandpa kept it in his coat, and he showed it once to me. he said, |
| [00:26.83] |
boy, you might not understand, but a long, long time ago, |
| [00:35.45] |
Grandma's daddy didn't like me none, but i loved your grandma so. |
| [00:43.92] |
We had this crazy plan to meet and run away together. |
| [00:52.86] |
Get married in the first town we came to, and live forever. |
| [01:02.02] |
But nailed to the tree where we were supposed to meet, instead |
| [01:11.44] |
Of her, i found this letter, and this is what it said: |
| [01:20.18] |
If you get there before i do, don't give up on me. |
| [01:28.99] |
I'll meet you when my chores are through; |
| [01:33.47] |
I don't know how long i'll be. |
| [01:37.63] |
But i'm not gonna let you down, darling wait and see. |
| [01:46.54] |
And between now and then, till i see you again, |
| [01:51.07] |
I'll be loving you. love, me. |
| [02:04.97] |
I read those words just hours before my grandma passed away, |
| [02:13.91] |
In the doorway of a church where me and grandpa stopped to pray. |
| [02:23.09] |
I know i'd never seen him cry in all my fifteen years; |
| [02:31.76] |
But as he said these words to her, his eyes filled up with tears. |
| [02:40.52] |
If you get there before i do, don't give up on me. |
| [02:50.63] |
I'll meet you when my chores are through; |
| [02:55.46] |
I don't know how long i'll be. |
| [02:59.56] |
But i'm not gonna let you down, darling wait and see. |
| [03:08.81] |
And between now and then, till i see you again, |
| [03:15.96] |
I'll be loving you. love, me. |
| [03:23.07] |
Between now and then, till i see you again, |
| [03:26.78] |
I'll be loving you. love, me. |
