    Have a few words to a song I like and can't figure out who sings it
    Lyric finder search engines aren't working... the song is about an elderly man who lost his wife... the promised each other if one got to heaven before the other... "if you get there before me"... and (he never cried before in "all his years"... that's all I know hope that helps... It's killing me I can't think of the artist or find it on the net... Thanks

    You didn't have a lot to go on...

    First the words reminded me of a video I saw of "Josh Turner's song Would you go with me"(about childhood sweethearts and as they get older she dies and he's looking for her...
    A cool video (lyrics below)-then I also found others after that

    "Would You Go With Me"

    Would you go with me if we rolled down streets of fire
    Would you hold on to me tighter as the summer sun got higher
    If we roll from town to town and never shut it down

    Would you go with me if we were lost in fields of clover
    Would we walk even closer until the trip was over
    And would it be okay if I didn't know the way

    If I gave you my hand would you take it
    And make me the happiest man in the world
    If I told you my heart couldn't beat one more minute without you, girl
    Would you accompany me to the edge of the sea
    Let me know if you're really a dream
    I love you so, so would you go with me

    [Instrumental]

    Would you go with me if we rode the clouds together
    Could you not look down forever
    If you were lighter than a feather
    Oh, and if I set you free, would you go with me

    If I gave you my hand would you take it
    And make me the happiest man in the world
    If I told you my heart couldn't beat one more minute without you, girl
    Would you accompany me to the edge of the sea
    Help me tie up the ends of a dream
    I got to know, would you go with me
    I love you so, so would you go with me

    Then I changed the words around a bit and found this... this may be what you're looking for! Hope so:
    IF YOU GET THERE BEFORE I DO LYRICS


    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
    Grandma's daddy didn't like me none
    But I love 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
    I'll meet you when my chores are through
    I don't know how long I'll be
    But I'm not going to let you down
    Darling wait and see
    And between now and then 'til I see you again
    I'll be loving you, love me

    I read those words just hours before my grandma past away
    In the door way of a church
    Where me and grandpa stopped to pray
    I know I'd 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
    I'll meet you when my chores are through
    I don't know how long I'll be
    But I'm not going to let you down
    Darling wait and see
    And between now and then 'til I see you again
    I'll be loving you, love me
    Between now and then 'til I see you again
    I'll be loving you, love me

    It's by Collin Raye.

    Love, Me
    (Skip Ewing/Max T. Barnes)

    I read a note my grandma wrote back in nineteen twenty-three.
    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,
    Grandma's daddy didn't 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
    Of her, I found this letter, and this is what it said:

    If you get there before I do, don't give up on me.
    I'll meet you when my chores are through;
    I don't know how long I'll be.
    But I'm not going to let you down, darling wait and see.
    And between now and then, till I see you again,
    I'll 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 I'd never seen him cry in all my fifteen 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.
    I'll meet you when my chores are through;
    I don't know how long I'll be.
    But I'm not going to let you down, darling wait and see.
    And between now and then, till I see you again,
    I'll be loving you. Love, me.
    Between now and then, till I see you again,
    I'll be loving you. Love, me.

    I know the chores:
    Every single day someone's judging me
    The way I live my life and how I live in these streets
    Look into my eyes can you feel my pain
    Tell me how it feels to be left out in the rain
    Every single day someonebody's judging me
    The way I live my life and how I live in these streets
    Look into my eyes can you feel my pain
    And so on
