Well here we are in the same old gate there's always time we have to wait

Cause the airplane's never ready and it gives you time to ask you'll be back when

Well we both know that I don't know we only know I will come home

But I'll always have to fly away again

I know it doesn't come out right for you it's not the kind of life

For you have to save love and keep on waitin' for a moving man

I know you hope the time will come I won't say goodbye and run

But I'm yours before I fly away again

[ strings ]

Go ahead and try to smile it makes it better for a while

I know you feel the way I do your misty eyes tell me you'll wait till then

Our time together's not enough it's the same thing for our love

But I'm yours before I fly away again

We hear the engine's whining now when all the time it's wrong somehow

Your misty eyes have turned to sad and I'll tell you I love you once again

I've got your picture in my mind I will until the end of time

I'm yours before I fly away again

[ strings ]

Well here we are in the same old gate there's always time we have to wait

Cause the airplane's never ready and it gives you time to ask you'll be back when
