Eric Durrance - Wait Till I Get There lyrics

I was 500 miles away when I got the call on a cold winter day Mama was crying when she said son hurrying home She said your grandpa is not doing well And the doctors said it's hard to tell But by the looks of things he don't have long Lord I knew someday that this time would come So before he take you home (chorus) 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 is going to a better place But if you are going to take him today, ooooo Wait till I get there I left my heart lying on the floor as I grab my keys and ran out the door Caught a red eye flight back home to my home town And as the silver wings touch the midnight sky Looking down over the world I realize how small life is Like a grain of sand Lord time was him wish I had more And all I am 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)
