I Can't Make You Love Me

歌詞

I read a note my grandma wrote back in 1922 My Grandpa kept it in his coat and he showed it once to me Said son you might not understand But a long, long time ago Your grandma's daddy didn't like me none But I love 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 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 So 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 past away In the door way of a church Where me and grandpa stopped to pray although I'd never seen him cry in all my 15 years 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 So between now and then til I see you again I'll be loving you, love me I'll be loving you, love me
