On a flight to Omaha

With a stop in Chicago

I saw her walk down the aisle

No, God, not ready, no, no

She smiled and sat beside me

We made small talk for awhile

Her laugh, God I loved her laugh

She lit up the dark with her smile

Two hours flew by in a minute

And as we started to land

She said this is the worst part

She reached out and grabbed my hand

My mind thought it’s the takeoff

My heart was thinking it’s the crash

And then we said our goodbyes

Her number I forgot to ask

My mind thought I was stupid

My heart said it’s for the best

Soon I’d be off to Omaha

And I closed my eyes to rest

She said, is this seat taken?

Then she sat down beside me

No, God, not ready, no, no

She laughed, said aren’t you lucky

I said can’t believe my luck

I asked her what she’s thinking of

Then she looked me in the eye

Asked, do you believe in love?

I looked out the window and

Said I’m not really that sure

I know it’s sad for me to say

Not sure I’ve had it before

Wasn’t long before we descended

And as we started to land

She said this is the worst part

She reached out and grabbed my hand

I wish we had more landings

But I knew this was goodbye

I asked her for her number

Then it was to my surprise

She said I’m meeting a few friends

Want to drive with me toward Denver ?

I’m attending a wedding

In a little town called Windsor

My mind was scared of the takeoff

I said I thought you’d never ask

She smiled as I grabbed her hand

My heart wasn’t thinking of the crash
