Until You Get There |
These two souls were up in heaven sitting and talking |
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 praying for a daughter |
And I’ll be their 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 looking 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 into 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» something happened |
Next thing you know he’d asked her to be his wife |
He said «I've got a job waiting on me out in Dallas |
When you graduate we’ll start a brand new life |
But how will I stand Dallas till 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 till you get there?" |
Sixty years and eight grandchildren later |
He says «It looks like my time is getting 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 waiting for your pretty face |
How will I stand heaven until you get there?" |
These two souls were up in heaven sitting and talking |
