CGrandma's daddy Em7didn't like me nAmone, butC I loved yourF Grandma so" G C F C
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:
Chorus
If you getF there before I dGo, doCn'tF give up on me G C
I'll Fmeet you when my chores are thGrough Am
I dDmon't know how long I'll be G
But I'm not Fgonna let you dGown, daCrling waFit and see G Am
And betwFeen now and then, till I sGee you again Em Am
I'll be lFoving you. LovGe, me C Em7 Am C F G C F C
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
Chorus
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
