20 Minutes Before Take-Off Dan Henry

Twenty minutes before take off
Sitting here at the airport lounge
Reminiscing all the good times
You're going and I'm staying.
What was a tremendously happy love affair
Is about to end in tragedy
It's a pity.

Huge amounts of persuasion
Only worsens the situation
Leaving was a realization of a dream
You've wanted to pursue
It was the end of you
What else can I do?
I love you.

Twenty minutes before take off
Just don't make sense
A dream which took us a lifetime to built
Comes apart in just a matter of minutes.

This is gonna hurt me more than it's gonna hurt you
We've been together for so long
I have to go now
I'm gonna miss you.

Twenty minutes before take off
The big DC-10 takes you on a journey
Please return
Nobody knows just when.
