A tear ran down his face

As she started to leave

He said, baby, don't do this

I'm beggin' you please

What can I say to stop you

From walkin' out on us

I'll do anything to save our love



She said I'm through with talkin'

You know I've tried my best

I gotta leave right now

I've got a plane to catch

And he said



People miss planes

It happens all the time

They cancel their plans

They change their minds

Listen to your heart

Before you go too far

Baby, turn around

Before it's too late

People miss planes



She made it to the airport

In the nick of time

In a moment she'd be gone

Yeah, she'd board that flight

She'd fly away from trouble

From the struggles that they had

And from everything they had shared



A tear fell on her ticket

As she thought about their love

In just another minute

She'd give it all up



Then she heard a voice calling

Boarding flight 41

When another voice inside her said

You don't have to get on



People miss planes

It happens all the time

They cancel their plans

They change their minds

Listen to your heart

Before you go too far

Baby, turn around

Before it's too late

People miss planes
