Theres a plane

It's headed for London

24 hours more and he'll be on it

And I can't show my love

And I can't stop it

Ooh I can't stop it



There a house there

Somebody's waiting

Somebody else's arms will wrap around him

In that moment

What will he think then

When I can't touch him



Maybe my love could fly over the ocean...

Maybe my heart should try to leave him alone

All that I really know is that he's going

Too far from Texas

Too close to home



In a room just outside of Houston

That's where I spend my nights trying to get thru to him

He says he's coming back in every letter

But he might never

No he might never



Maybe my love could fly over the ocean

Maybe my heart should try to leave him alone

All that I really know is that he's going

Too far from Texas

Too close to home



Does he know how long

I've waited for this love to come

Does he know I'm holding on

And that won't change

No matter where he's gone



Maybe my love could fly over the ocean

Maybe my heart should try to leave him alone

All that I really know is that he's going

Too far from Texas

Too close to home



Maybe my love could fly over the ocean

Maybe my heart should try to leave him alone

All that I really know is that he's going

Too far from Texas

Too close to home



Couldn't I

Couldn't I wait

Couldn't he

Couldn't he stay

One more day



Couldn't I

Couldn't I wait

Couldn't he

Couldn't he stay

One more day
