Love, Me
Love, Me
(by Collin Raye)
I read a note my grandma wrote back in nineteen twenty-three.
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 loved 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
Of her, 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, till 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 a church where me and Grandpa stopped to pray.
I know I'd never seen him cry in all my fifteen years;
But 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.
And between now and then, till I see you again,
I'll be loving you.
Love, me.
Between now and then, till I see you again,
I'll be loving you.
Love, me.
I realised I've been indulging in more oldies rather than pop songs. Is this a sign that I'm growing old? Don't ask me what are the new songs. I know nuts. The same songs are on repeat mode on my playlist and I listen to them everyday, without feeling bored. Somehow, I appreciate oldies better. The lyrics are more meaningful.
Love, Me is one of my favourites and I'm particularly fond of the lyrics. How can you not like this song? It's one of my favourites and will always be. I got sentimental and my eyes filled with tears when this song was playing on my playlist this afternoon. Silly me.
Hope you like this song too. =)
Love,
Me
