Well, here we are, 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 waiting 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
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 'til 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 engines winding now
They always time it wrong somehow
Your misty eyes have turned to sad
And I'll tell you that 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
Yes, here we are, 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?"
We both know that I don't know
