sweetest song
record-breaking twelve hours of work today. after delivery to faraway places, packed box after box of chocolates in this chocolate room. as christmas draws nearer, my attachment to workplace is apparently growing stronger.today i heard the sweetest song ever. it's still lingering in my mind. i was thoroughly moved, close to tears even. call me sappy but the lyrics and melody of this song is absolutely heart-rending.
I read a note my grandma wrote
back in 1923
Grandpa kept it in his coat
And he showed once to me
He said now son 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
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
'Cause between now and then, till i see you again
I'll be loving you,
love me
I read these words just hours before
My grandma passed away
In the doorway of the church
where me and grandpa stop to pray
I know i've never seen him cry
In all my 15 years
but as he read 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
'Cause between now and then, till i see you again
I'll be loving you,
love me
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
'Cause between now and then, till i see you again
I'll be loving you,
love me
