    Default Love song about 2 person eloping and a letter in pocket?

    There's this song which i am trying to identify. Its an old love song about this guy reminiscing the time when he eloped with his lover and the lyrics keep talking about a letter his in pocket.

    Anyone has any impression?

    Collin Raye - "If You Get There Before I Do"

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N30haGLEcn4

    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 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
    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 ‘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
    I know I'd never seen him cry in all my 15 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 ‘til I see you again
    I'll be loving you, love me
    Between now and then ‘til I see you again
    I'll be loving you, love me
