I've never missed an airplane
No, my father always made me go prepared
Two hours short of takeoff
Look through the glass, oh I was there
Oh, I was there
'Cause I don't like the risk of losing
I don't entertain that chance at all
Two hours short of seeing you
I'd rather look before I fall
Before I fall
'Cause you're the golden glow of a highway streetlamp, baby
Soft and slow
But we're running and running on
I let go
I'd close my eyes and miss it all
For you
Now it's Monday morning and you wipe another tear back from my eye
I almost missed my boarding call
I let a stranger see me cry
See me cry
'Cause you're the golden glow of a highway streetlamp, baby
Soft and slow
But we're running and running on
I let go
I'd close my eyes and miss it all
For you
I'd miss it all
For you
And I feel selfish 'cause I want to hold your hand
And they can laugh and stare, but they don't understand
Two hours gone, I'm in the air
But how I wish that I was there
(I wish that...)
'Cause you're the golden glow
Of an April sunset, baby
Soft and slow
(Soft and slow)
But we're running and running on
I'd let go
I'd close my eyes and miss it all
Miss it all for you
I'd miss it all
For you
I'd close my eyes and miss it all
(Miss it all)
For you
(For you)
