If Love Gets There Before I Do

(Dickey Lee - Kerry Chater)



Another twenty miles and I'm halfway there

Another twenty miles and I'm runnin' scared

It's a beautiful night and I should be there

But I left you too long goin' who knows where.



I know you're tired of waiting and I know you're tired of hesitating

If love gets there before I do, darling don't you take it

You know I'm on my way to you as fast as I can make it

There's danger in the summer moon, don't think there's nothing to it

If love gets there before I do, darling, don't you do it, no don't you do it.



I know you're hearing lines from those other guys

Tryin' to wear you down under starry skies

But you know that I want you to just hold on

What a shame if I get there and you are gone.



I know you're tired of waiting and I know you're tired of hesitating

If love gets there before I do, darling don't you take it

You know I'm on my way to you as fast as I can make it

There's danger in the summer moon, don't think there's nothing to it

If love gets there before I do, darling, don't you do it, no don't you do it.



If love gets there before I do, darling don't you take it

You know I'm on my way to you as fast as I can make it

There's danger in the summer moon, don't think there's nothing to it

If love gets there before I do, darling, don't you do it, no don't you do it.
