   I'll be lovin you 
  
             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.
