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?

 Couldn't I, couldn't I wait?
 Couldn't he, couldn't he stay one more day?
