Love, Me

[kimblanchard]

I remember this song from college when it was popular, but I heard it for the first time in a long time yesterday. And of course, it teared me up something fierce. Of course, seeing a pair of scissors can tear me up some of the time, too, when I am in that kind of mood.

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 I KNOW 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 & LIVE FOREVER

BUT NAILED TO THE TREE WHERE WE WERE SUPPOSED TO MEET INSTEAD

I FOUND THIS LETTER AND THIS IS WHAT IT SAID

(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

DARLIN' WAIT AND SEE

AND BETWEEN NOW AND THEN TIL 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'VE NEVER SEEN HIM CRY IN ALL MY 15 YEARS

BUT AS HE SAID THESE WORDS TO HER HIS EYES FILLED UP WITH TEARS

Becky left me with some chores to do for her, but I'm not going to let her down.

Curtis

Curtis,

That is soooo moving. I pray for your strength and comfort everyday. Take care and kiss your daughter for me.

[stand4hope]

I don't remember that song, Curtis, but I tried to put my own music to it, and I bet it was a catchy tune. I don't think you ever need to worry about letting Becky down. You were so good to her and you will be good to Katie - that's all that matters.

Peggy,

Artist is Collin Raye. It's a sad tune, slow so you can hear all the words and it can tear up your heart...

Becky

[angelb]

Big and Rich (Yep - country)

Live This Life

Met a man on the street last night

Said his name was Jesus

Met a man on the street last night

Thought he was crazy till I watched him heal a blind man

Watched him heal a blind man now I see

I live this life until this life won't let me live here anymore

Then I will walk yes I will walk

With patience through that open door

I have no fears, angels follow me wherever I may go

I live this life until this life won't let me live here anymore

Met a girl in a chair with wheels

But no one else would see her

Met a girl in a chair with wheels

Everyone was so afraid

To even look down on her

And she just spread her little wings and flew away yeah

I live this life until this life won't let me live here anymore

Then I will walk yes I will walk

With patience through that open door

I have no fears, angels follow me wherever I may go

I live this life until this life won't let me live here anymore

Met a kid on a bridge last night

Contemplating freedom

Met a kid on a bridge last night

And he said

I'm tired of this maddening life

And I'm ready to go meet Jesus

And I said he's a friend of mine

Met him just last night

And it's alright

Yeah it's all right

Yeah

I live this life until this life won't let me live here anymore

Then I will walk yes I will walk

With patience through that open door

I have no fears, angels follow me wherever I may go

I live this life until this life won't let me live here anymore

Live here anymore

Met a man on the street last night

Said his name was Jesus

Met a man on the street last night
