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 REFRAIN 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 REFRAIN 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 REFRAIN X 2 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
