Wait Till I Get There - Eric Durrance

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" (hurry home)
she said your grandpa's not doing well
and the doctor said "its hard to tell but buy the looks of things, he don't have long"
Lord i knew some day this time would come so before you take him home
[Chorus]
wait 'till i get there
don't let him leave this world without me having the chance to say good-bye
i want to tell him i love him
and I'll miss him every day
Lord i now he's going to a better place
but if your gonna take him today...
ohhhhh
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-eyed flight back home, to my hometown
and as those silver wings touched the midnight sky
lookin' down on 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
[Chorus]
i just want to hug his neck just one more time
and be there right beside him, when he closes his eyes
[Chorus]
wait 'till i get there
