Intro
Love, Me.
I read these 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.
Chorus
Cause between now and then
Till I see you again
I'll be lovin you,
Love, Me
Intro.
That's it. You'll want to listen to the tape for a couple of little
fills that he (his band?) does, especially on the C chords.
