[00:09.78]I read a note my grandma wrote back in nineteen twenty-three.
[00:18.46]Grandpa kept it in his coat, and he showed it once to me. he said,
[00:27.70]\boy, you might not understand, but a long, long time ago,
[00:36.37]Grandma's daddy didn't like me none, but i loved your grandma so.\
[00:45.80]We had this crazy plan to meet and run away together.
[00:54.28]Get married in the first town we came to, and live forever.
[01:00.27]But nailed to the tree where we were supposed to meet, instead
[01:13.12]Of her, i found this letter, and this is what it said:
[01:21.30]If you get there before i do, don't give up on me.
[01:30.54]I'll meet you when my chores are through;
[01:35.28]I don't know how long i'll be.
[01:39.27]But i'm not gonna let you down, darling wait and see.
[01:48.25]And between now and then, till i see you again,
[01:52.38]I'll be loving you. love, me.
[02:07.10]I read those words just hours before my grandma passed away,
[02:15.40]In the doorway of a church where me and grandpa stopped to pray.
[02:25.14]I know i'd never him seen cry in all my fifteen years;
[02:33.68]But as he said these words to her, his eyes filled up with tears.
[02:43.49]If you get there before i do, don't give up on me.
[02:52.84]I'll meet you when my chores are through;
[02:57.53]I don't know how long i'll be.
[03:01.39]But i'm not gonna let you down, darling wait and see.
[03:10.44]And between now and then, till i see you again,
[03:14.55]I'll be loving you. love, me.
[03:24.42]Between now and then, till i see you again,
[03:28.03]I'll be loving you. love, me.
