If You Get There Before I Do
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 â??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 SongtexteI know I'd never seen him cry in all my 15 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 â??til I see you again I'll be loving you, love me Between now and then â??til I see you again I'll be loving you, love me Aus Songtexte Mania
