There's a plane, it's headed for London Twenty-four 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's a house there, somebody's waiting Somebody else's arms will wrap around him And in that moment what will he think then... When I can't touch him
[Chorus:] 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 comin' back in every letter... But he might never No he might never
[Chorus]
Does he know how long I've waited for this love to come Does he know I'm holdin' on And that won't change no matter where he's gone
[Chorus]
Couldn't I, couldn't I wait Couldn't he, couldn't he stay one more day
