Too Far from Texas

There's 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'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 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 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 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? 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 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 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?
