When I saw my reflection in her eyes That's when I knew that it was time I leaned over and kissed her cheek And softly said goodbye Against the glass I heaved a sigh Followed the fading of it's lights Watched the plane begin it's flight With my eyes into the night
And I know that I'm a coward Who couldn't even tell her As she begged me with those eyes Give her a reason not to fly And it haunts me on the highway Headin back to my place Why oh why oh why oh why oh why
With miles between us How could love have seen us And given us this chance And I hear it whisper "Could you not have kissed her And shown her you're a man, Who wants nothing more in life Than for her to be your wife?"
And I know that I'm a coward Who couldn't even tell her As she begged me with those eyes Give her a reason not to fly And it haunts me on the highway Headin back to my place Why oh why oh why oh why oh why
With miles between us How could love have seen us And given us this chance And I hear it whisper "Could you not have kissed her And shown her you're a man, Who wants nothing more in life Than for her to be your wife?"
Should I laugh? Should I cry? Should I get back in my car and drive fifteen hours to make things right?
