Next Plane Out
Celine Dion · The Colour Of My Love
I listen to the sound of the rain fallin' down my window
Prayin' for a gentle wind
To bring my baby back again
Tryin' to be strong but I'm not getting any stronger
Loneliness is tearing apart this heart of mine
I lay awake 'coz I can't take another night lonely
It's been too long, I can't hold on no more
Leavin' on the next plane out
'Coz I gotta see my baby
It's been too long since I held him in my arms
And I just won't sleep at night
Till he's sleeping here beside me
Here beside me again
Gotta be with my baby
Talking on the phone but that don't make it any better
Nothing's gonna ease this pain
Until I'm in his arms again
Runnin' down the stairs there's a taxi that's waiting for me
Loneliness I'm gonna leave you far behind
I'd walk for days through pouring rain
Anything to be with him
It's been so long, I can't be strong no more
Leavin' on the next plane out
'Coz I gotta see my baby
It's been too long since I held him in my arms
And I just won't sleep at night
Till he's sleeping here beside me
Here beside me again
Gotta be with him
Gotta be by his side
Gotta be with him
My heart's made up my mind
Leavin' on the next plane out
'Coz I gotta see my baby
It's been too long since I held him in my arms
And I just won't sleep at night
Till he's sleeping here beside me
Here beside me again
'Coz I gotta see my baby
It's been too long since I held him in my arms
And I just won't sleep at night
Till he's sleeping here beside me
Here beside me again
Gotta be with my baby, gonna be with my baby
Gonna take the next plane or the next train
Gotta get there gotta see my baby
And nothing's gonna stop me from leavin' this time
Leavin' on the next plane out...
Prayin' for a gentle wind
To bring my baby back again
Tryin' to be strong but I'm not getting any stronger
Loneliness is tearing apart this heart of mine
I lay awake 'coz I can't take another night lonely
It's been too long, I can't hold on no more
Leavin' on the next plane out
'Coz I gotta see my baby
It's been too long since I held him in my arms
And I just won't sleep at night
Till he's sleeping here beside me
Here beside me again
Gotta be with my baby
Talking on the phone but that don't make it any better
Nothing's gonna ease this pain
Until I'm in his arms again
Runnin' down the stairs there's a taxi that's waiting for me
Loneliness I'm gonna leave you far behind
I'd walk for days through pouring rain
Anything to be with him
It's been so long, I can't be strong no more
Leavin' on the next plane out
'Coz I gotta see my baby
It's been too long since I held him in my arms
And I just won't sleep at night
Till he's sleeping here beside me
Here beside me again
Gotta be with him
Gotta be by his side
Gotta be with him
My heart's made up my mind
Leavin' on the next plane out
'Coz I gotta see my baby
It's been too long since I held him in my arms

And I just won't sleep at night
Till he's sleeping here beside me
Here beside me again
Gotta be with my baby, gonna be with my baby
Gonna take the next plane or the next train
Gotta get there gotta see my baby
And nothing's gonna stop me from leavin' this time
Leavin' on the next plane out...
