Love, Me Lyrics

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 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 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
Until 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 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
Until i see you again
I'll be loving you . . .
Love, me
Between now and then
Until i see you again
I'll be loving you . . .
Love, me

Collin Raye was born Aug. 22, 1960, in DeQueen, AR, with the name Floyd Collin Wray. Both of his parents were musical, and his mother, Lois Wray, was a regionally popular performer in East Texas who opened shows for Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis and Carl Perkins in the 1950s. At 7, Raye was onstage with her performing. At 13, he and his older brother Scott formed The Wray Brothers and performed in the roadhouses of the Lone Star State. They soon became headliners in Portland, OR, and in the casinos of Reno, NV.

Raye first attracted Nashville's attention as the lead vocalist on a string of independent singles in the 1980s. Billed as The Wrays, the act released a couple of singles on Mercury Records in the mid-80s before breaking up. Epic Records signed Raye as a solo act in 1990. A year later, the nostalgic ballad Love, Me hit No. 1, and by 2000, he charted 21 Top 10 hits for Epic. His first four studio albums, as well as his Greatest Hits, have been certified platinum. His best-known hits include Little Rock, about a recovering alcoholic, and I Think About You, about watching his teenage daughter grow up. Read more on Last.fm.
