Until You Get There Lyrics

These two souls were up in heaven sittin' and talkin'
When he got word it was his time to go,
'Cause a couple down in Memphis wants a baby,
And heaven chose him oh so long ago.

So he turned to her and he said, "I'm gonna miss you."
She said, "Don't you worry, I'll be down there soon.
There's a family in Tupelo prayin' for a daughter,
And I'll be there answer in a year or two."

And he said, "How will I stand earth until you get there?
I won't know a soul; it'll be so strange
Wherever I go, whatever I do, I'll be lookin' hard for you.
How will I stand earth until you get there?"

He was in his senior year down in Oxford;
When a pretty junior girl walked in to class.
She said, "My name's Angel. You look so familiar."
He said, "Maybe we met somewhere in the past."

When she said, "I'm from Tupelo," somethin' happened. The Oak Ridge Boys - Until You Get There - http://motolyrics.com/the-oak-ridge-boys/until-you-get-there-lyrics.html
Next thing you know, he'd ask her to be his wife.
He said, "I've got a job waitin' on me out in Dallas.
When you graduate we'll start a brand new life.

"But how will I stand Dallas 'til you get there?
I won't know a soul; it'll be so strange.
I'll be strong, I'll be true. I'll be waiting there for you.
How will I stand Dallas 'til you get there?"

Sixty years and eight grandchildren later;
He says, "It looks like my time is gettin' close.
You know I'm not afraid to meet our maker,
But I've loved you so long, I just don't know….

"How will I stand heaven until you get there?
Without you by my side; it'll be so strange.
I'll hang around those pearly gates waitin' for your pretty face.
How will I stand heaven until you get there?"

These two souls were up in heaven sittin' and talkin'….
