If You Get There Before I Do Lyrics - Collin Raye

I read a note my grandma wrote back in 1923 

Grandpa kept it in his coat and he showed it once to me 

He said, "Boy, you might not understand but a long, long time ago 

Grandmas daddy didnt like me none but I loved your grandma so" 

We had this crazy plan to meet and run away together 

Get married in the first town we came to and live forever 

But nailed to the tree where we were supposed to meet instead 

I found this letter and this is what it said 

If you get there before I do, don't give up on me 

Ill meet you when my chores are through 

I dont know how long Ill be but Im not gonna let you down 

Darling, wait and see

And between now and then til I see you again 

Ill be loving you, love me 

I read those words just hours before my grandma passed away 

In the doorway of a church where me and grandpa stopped to pray 

I know Id never seen him cry in all my 15 years 

But as he said these words to her, his eyes filled up with tears 

If you get there before I do, don't give up on me 

Ill meet you when my chores are through 

I dont know how long Ill be but Im not gonna let you down 

Darling, wait and see
