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
