Wait Till I Get There Lyrics

I was 500 miles away

When I got the call that cold winter day

Mama was crying when she said son hurry home

She said your grandpa's not doing well

And the doctor said it's hard to tell

But by the looks of things

He don't have long

Lord I knew someday this time would come

So before you take him home

Wait till I get there

Don't let him leave this world

Without me having the chance to say goodbye

I want to tell him I love him

And I'll miss him everyday

Lord I know he's going to a better place

But if you're going to take him today, oooooh

Wait till I get there

I left my heart lying on the floor

As I grabbed my keys and ran out the door

Caught a red eye flight back home to my hometown

And as the silver wings touch the midnight sky

Looking down over the world I realized how small life is

Like a grain of sand

Lord time with him, wish I had more

Now all I'm asking for

Wait till I get there

Don't let him leave this world

Without me having the chance to say goodbye

I want to tell him I love him

And I'll miss him everyday

Lord I know he's going to a better place

But if you're going to take him today, oooooh

Wait till I get there

I just want to hug his neck

Just one more time

And be there right beside him

When he closes his eyes

Wait till I get there

Don't let him leave this world

Without me having the chance to say goodbye

I want to tell him I love him

And I'll miss him everyday

Lord I know he's going to a better place

But if you're going to take him today, oooooh

Wait till I get there

Wait till I get there
