Eric Durrance - Wait Till I Get There lyrics

rate me

I was 500 miles away<br />

When I got the call that cold winter day<br />

Mama was crying when she said son hurry home<br />

She said your grandpa's not doing well<br />

And the doctor said it's hard to tell<br />

But by the looks of things<br />

He don't have long<br />

Lord I knew someday this time would come<br />

So before you take him home<br />

<br />

Wait till I get there<br />

Don't let him leave this world<br />

Without me having the chance to say goodbye<br />

I want to tell him I love him<br />

And I'll miss him everyday<br />

Lord I know he's going to a better place<br />

But if you're going to take him today, oooooh<br />

Wait till I get there<br />

<br />

I left my heart lying on the floor<br />

As I grabbed my keys and ran out the door<br />

Caught a red eye flight back home to my hometown<br />

And as the silver wings touch the midnight sky<br />

Looking down over the world I realized how small life is<br />

Like a grain of sand<br />

Lord time with him, wish I had more<br />

Now all I'm asking for<br />

<br />

Wait till I get there<br />

Don't let him leave this world<br />

Without me having the chance to say goodbye<br />

I want to tell him I love him<br />

And I'll miss him everyday<br />

Lord I know he's going to a better place<br />

But if you're going to take him today, oooooh<br />

Wait till I get there<br />

<br />

I just want to hug his neck<br />

Just one more time<br />

And be there right beside him<br />

When he closes his eyes<br />

<br />

Wait till I get there<br />

Don't let him leave this world<br />

Without me having the chance to say goodbye<br />

I want to tell him I love him<br />

And I'll miss him everyday<br />

Lord I know he's going to a better place<br />

But if you're going to take him today, oooooh<br />

Wait till I get there<br />

Wait till I get there</
