"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.
