In 1990 I was diagnosed with cancer. In the hospital for week long stints of Chemotherapy while the gulf war raged on TV. My parents would make the 700 mile trip to be with me...............and this song was there. Still brings me to tears. My parents have passed and not a day goes that I don't think about them and the sacrifices they made for me. If you love someone......anyone....tell them. Tomorrow is never promised.

Anytime I hear this song I cry. No matter who sings it or how. For me it represents a love that never happened because life just kept getting in the way. For those of you that have found love in your life. Hold onto it. Take care of it. Maintain it and never let it go or you'll end up like me. An old person alone.

I was about 12 and I was a dancer at the time and this was song to our pointe dance.. however that same year my good friend who was also a dancer died of meningitis at age of 10 and I remember being in my pointe class learning the choreography to this dance we had found out the news. Anytime I hear this song I get transported back to that time. I love you Desiree ❤️ Miss you so much!

A forgotten classic, and up there with the greatest love songs of all time. And Oleta`s voice makes it soar. So moving.

This song always make me cry, I got took away from my mom when I was little I use to listen to this all the time and wondering why she never came for me. I didn't care just get here if you can.

David Decarlo This is a beautiful story David, thank you so much for sharing! My mother has a story quite similar to yours except she was the only sibling out of 4 to never be adopted, she spent her childhood in an institution. All 4 of my Aunts were adopted by the same family. Not sure why my mom wasn't. But she was 10 when she last saw them, her youngest sibling was an infant. My mom is now in her late 60's. In 1990 she located her sisters again and arranged to meet them. She met all except the youngest, she couldn't come at that time. To this day those 2 still haven't met, which is sad. I keep in contact with their children via Facebook. Thank God for technology. I hope you find Linda & get to meet her soon. I love stories like these of reunions and happy endings. ❤

There is no one who can sing it like her - Oleta your the best on this one. I remember the first time I heard it I cried (I was missing my kids at the time) - and even it's just so sweet - I love it. What a gift we are to one another - should she ever she this - thanks Oleta

This is one of my favorite songs of all times....whether it relates to your mother, father, sister, brother, friend, loved one or loved one lost....it hits home in every way.

You can reach me by railway, you can reach me by trailway You can reach me on an airplane, you can reach me with your mind You can reach me by caravan, cross the desert like an Arab man I don't care how you get here, just get here if you can You can reach me by sailboat, climb a tree and swing rope to rope Take a sled and slide down the slope, into these arms of mine You can jump on a speedy colt, cross the border in a blaze of hope I don't care how you get here, just get here if you can There are hills and mountains between us Always something to get over If I had my way, surely you would be closer I need you closer There are hills and mountains between us Always something to get over If I had my way, surely you would be closer I need you closer You can windsurf into my life, take me up on a carpet ride You can make it in a big balloon, but you better make it soon You can reach me by caravan, cross the desert like an Arab man I don't care how you get here, just get here if you can I don't care, I don't care I need you right here right now I need you right here right now right by my side yeah yeah Get here I don't care how you get here, just get here if you can.

Thank you for posting this wonderful song! It reminds me of someone special who I haven't seen in five months. My godfather, who used to be my assistant principal back in August 2007 since I was in the seventh grade along with his family who I've haven't seen for five months had came to my church on Sunday November 18th, 2018 for a thanksgiving meal. I was listening to this song while doing my church greeter job until him and his family had shown up in his wife's luxury 2015 Chevrolet Tahoe. My godfather and his family sat right behind me and our former coach which I felt shaken and surprised; however, my godfather admits to me & our former coach that he wasn't able to see me in the fall because he's busy which almost got me into tears of joy when he'd opened up while being honest. 😢

This is the most beautiful song I have ever heard in my 42 years of living, and still will always love this song for my top pick

brings tears to a grown mans eyes every time ... that I live long enough to feel such unconditional love from a woman like this ... there is NOTHING I would not do for HER

I listen to this at least twice a week! Love singing it with her.

BEAUTIFUL AND TIMELESS !💘

Our Song Forever.....I never stopped loving you....R.I.P. Tony....Always My Heart, My Best Friend and My Destiny 🌹

THIS SONG BROUGHT TEARS TO MY EYES CAUSE IT MADE ME THINK OF THE WRONG I DID TO WOMEN AND I HAVE NO ONE IN MY LIFE NOW AND I PRAY THAT GOD CAN FORGIVE ME AND THE WOMEN FORGAVE ME AND MAN SHOULD LOVE WOMEN WITH REAL LOVE KEEP IT 1000 PERCENT ONE LOVE PEACE

This song was one of my moms favorites, before passing away. It makes me feel good to think of her.

Magnificent song and interpretation

Get Here , This song is so beautiful...I think about the couple of long distance relationships I've been in and ended because of it.Seriously ladies it really isnt worth it if a man can get here when he can and when he does you wish he had stayed where he was.It bring tears to my eyes just listening to it.

Everyday I pray I may also sing this song , it brings me comfort .. I love Oleta's voice when I first heard this song I was so in love eith it , it moves the soul .. Thank you Lord for bringing me here and thank you Oleta for years of humble gratitude .. One day He will come for us and maybe just maybe this will be the way we can all unite as one ..

I truly believe this is one of the most beautiful heartfelt (love) 💖💖💖 songs I've ever heard being sung by Oleta Adams (who) is a incredibly beautiful and talented woman blessed with a amazing voice, that express her thoughts and feelings of what it would mean to have the man she (loves) 💖💖💖 to be here with (her) no matter what it takes to get (here) and just have him close to her....💯💯💯✔

Oleta’s voice is beyond any I’ve ever heard. There’s not another even close 💕

Just lost my daddy last month, this song says it all. I'm in tears right now, but I can't stop playing it.

Her voice is smooth as velvet

My best friend's older sister Always sang this when we were younger..... It always Stuck because of her. Rest In Paradise Selena

My Uncle Greg was in the Navy during Operation Desert Storm when this song was released. This was my grandma's song to him when he was serving overseas. I miss her so much.

I agree, I remember hearing this song for the first time back in 1990. Beautiful song it is !!!

I don't care how you get here, just get here when you can ! By Oleta Adams

thank you for this video. This a beautiful song. It is about the realest love that does not seem to exist

This plucks at my very soul. It's not just a song, it's a stunning piece of Art. One of the songs I will be singing when I leave this world, to reunite with my mum and dad. God bless xxx

BEAUTIFUL SONG! MRS.OLETA ADAMS!

When singers could sing 🙌🏾🙏🏾🙌🏾 I was a little girl & my mother loved this song. That's when I first heard it. Even then I appreciated Oleta's amazing voice even though Madonna, Prince & MJ were my preferred musicians of choice.

Hauntingly Beautiful. From the bowels of yearning.

Steve Harvey Reminded me of this song today while watching his show LOL Thank you!!!

A most beautiful song..reminds me of being so far away during Desert Storm

Dear god. Take care of him.. ♡♡♡

28 years ago I was in love with K.B, and I lost you.... I thought I'd die without you, the love of my life but God has brought a very special man into my life who I know in my heart, R.H. is my soul mate.

Currently away from my wife.. miss her a lot. I know of a lot of things that are important in life, but when a huge piece of your heart is so far away then you're not complete.

Everytime I hear this song I'm thankful for my Auntie Shirley and Uncle Al. When I'm not physically around them I miss them

Someone handed me a cassette and told me listen to her she is amazing! I didn't until a musician friend of mine mentioned her to me! And I haven't stopped.

This song triggers so many memories of me growing up, when life was pure and simple.

Beautiful song stunning voice. True talent. In my top 5 best female voice EVER!

I saw Oleta Adams on her first tour with Michael Bolton I really thought she should have been the headliner my wife got me into her and i thought she was awesome my wife just died and I came across this video needless to say I cried such a strong voice i played this song over and over get here what a song
