Love, Me

I read a note my grandma wrote back in nineteen twenty-three.
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 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, till 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'd 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, 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.

Coat of many colors

Back through the years I go wandering once again
Back to the seasons of my youth I recall a box of
rags that someone gave us and how my mama put the
rags to use there were rags of many colors and
every piece was small and I didn't have a coat and
it was way down in the fall momma sewed the rags
together sewing every piece with love she made my
coat of many colors that I was so proud of

As she sewed she told a story from the bible she
had read about a coat of many colors Joseph wore
and then she said perhaps this coat will bring you
good luck and happiness and I just couldn't wait
to wear it and mama blessed it with a kiss my coat
of many colors that my mama made for me made only

from rags but I wore it so proudly Although we had
money but I was rich as I could be in my coat of
many colors my mama made for me

So with patches on my britches and holes in both
my shoes in my coat of many colors I hurried off
to school just to find the others laughing and a
making fun of me in my coat of many colors my mama
made for me and oh I couldn't understand for I
felt I was rich and I told them all the love my
mama sewed in every stich and I told them all the
story mama told me while she sewed and how my coat
of many colors was worth more than all their
clothes

But they didn't understand and I tried to make
them see one is only poor only if they choose to
be now I know we have no money but I was rich as I
could be in my coat of many colors mama made for
me made just for me

Straight from the heart

I could start dreaming but it never ends
As long as your gone we may as well pretend
Ive been dreaming
Straight from the heart

You say its easy but whose to say
That wed be able to keep it this way
But its easier
Straight from the heart

Give it to me straight from the heart
Tell me we can make another start
You know Ill never go
As long as I know
Its coming straight from the heart

Ill see you on the street some other time
And all our words would just fall out of line
I was dreaming
Straight from the heart

Give it to me straight from the heart
Tell me we can make another start
You know Ill never go
As long as I know
Its coming straight from the heart

Give it to me straight from the heart
Tell me we can make one more start
You know Ill never go
As long as I know
Its coming straight from the heart

What made you say that...

Maybe tonight I'm gonna tell him how I feel
Maybe I'll leave well enough alone
Maybe, just maybe, he'll want to be my baby
What if he's got plans of his own

I'm waiting for the perfect moment
Looking for the perfect phrase
The one I finally choose is simply "I Love You"
As the words came out I heard a voice inside me say

What made you say that
Was it the moonlight, was it the starlight in your eyes
What made you say that
Have you been listening to your heart
It's too late now, you don't want to take it back
'Cause I know love's what made you say that

I look up to see his reaction
And a smile slowly spread across his face
He said, "What took you so long
That's what I've been waiting on
I thought you'd take forever and a day"

What made you say that
Was it the moonlight, was it the starlight in your eyes
What made you say that
Have you been listening to your heart
It's too late now, I won't let you take it back
'Cause I know love's what made you say that

What made you say that
Was it the moonlight, was it the starlight in your eyes
What made you say that
Have you been listening to your heart
It's too late now, I won't let you take it back
'Cause I know love's what made you say that

Was it the moonlight, was it the starlight in your eyes
What made you say that
Have you been listening to your heart

What made you say that
What made you say that
What made you say that....
