There's a plane, its 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
No, I can't stop it
There's 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 goin'
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 through 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 goin'
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 goin'
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 goin'
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
