A tear ran down his face as she started to leave
He said, "Baby, don't do this I'm begging you please
What can I say to stop you from walking out on us
I'll do anything to save our love"
She said, "I'm through with talking, you know I've tried my best
I gotta leave right now, I've got a plane to catch"
And he said

"People miss planes
It happens all the time
They cancel their plans
They change their minds
Listen to your heart
Before you go too far
Baby, turn around
Before it's too late
People miss planes"

She made it to the airport in the nick of time
In a moment she'd be gone, yeah, she'd board that flight
She'd fly away from trouble from the struggle that they had
And from everything they had shared
A tear fell on her ticket as she thought about their love
In just another minute she'd give it all up

Then she heard a voice calling
Boarding flight 41
When another voice inside her said
You don't have to get on

People miss planes
It happens all the time
They cancel their plans
They change their minds
Listen to your heart
Before you go too far
Baby, turn around
Before it's too late
People miss planes
People miss planes
People miss planes
