		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

		(CHORUS & TAG)

		NOW LISTEN DEAR I THINK IT'S CLEAR WE NEED TO SIT AND TALK
		SEEMS YOU'VE GOT THIS NOTION 
		I'VE BEEN HAVING SECOND THOUGHTS
		WELL I MUST CONFESS IN A WAY, I GUESS
		THAT SILLY NOTION'S TRUE
		'CAUSE EVERY SECOND YOU'RE NOT HERE WITH ME I THINK OF YOU

	(CHORUS)  EVERY SECOND, EVERY MINUTE, EVERY HOUR OF EVERY DAY
		    EVERY SECOND THERE'S A THOUGHT OF YOU THAT COMES MY WAY
		    SO IF YOU ASK IF I HAVE SECOND THOUGHTS
		    I GUESS I'D HAVE TO SAY
		    EVERY SECOND, EVERY MINUTE, EVERY HOUR OF EVERY DAY

		NOW I PROPOSE WE DRINK A TOAST
		AND TURN THE LIGHTS DOWN LOW
		PUT OUR FAVORITE MUSIC ON & HOLD EACH OTHER CLOSE
		DON'T WORRY DEAR YOU'LL ALWAYS BE HERE
		IN MY HEART TO STAY
		EVERY SECOND, EVERY MINUTE, EVERY HOUR OF EVERY DAY

		(CHORUS)
		(TAG)

		HE FINALLY GAVE IN TO HIS FRIEND'S GIRLFRIEND
		WHEN SHE SAID THERE'S SOMENONE YOU SHOULD MEET
		AT A CROWDED RESTAURANT WAY 'CROSS TOWN 
		HE WAITED IMPATIENTLY
		WHEN SHE WALKED IN THEIR EYES MET & THEY BOTH STARED
		RIGHT THEN AND THERE EVERYONE ELSE DISAPPEARED, BUT

	(CHORUS)	ONE BOY, ONE GIRL, TWO HEARTS BEATING WILDLY
			TO PUT IT MILDLY IT WAS LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT
			HE SMILED, SHE SMILED THEY KNEW RIGHT AWAY
			THIS WAS THE DAY THEY HAD WAITED FOR
				ALL THEIR LIVES
			FOR A MOMENT THE WHOLE WORLD
			REVOLVED AROUND ONE BOY AND ONE GIRL

		IN NO TIME AT ALL THEY WERE STANDING THERE
		IN THE FRONT OF A LITTLE CHURCH
		AMONG THEIR FRIENDS AND FAMILY
		THEY REPEATED THOSE SACRED WORDS
		THE PREACHER SAID SON KISS YOUR BRIDE
		AND HE RAISED HER VEIL
		LIKE THE NIGHT THEY MET TIME JUST STOOD STILL, FOR

		(CHORUS)

		HE WAS HOLDING HER HAND WHEN THE DOCTOR LOOKED UP
		AND GRINNED  /  CONGRATULATIONS . . . TWINS
		
		(CHORUS)
