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
