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...
