[Verse 1]
When you get this message I'll be high above the earth
Thinking about the promises that I keep
When I touch down in Texas, land in Dallas/Fort Worth
I will call you up and wake you from your sleep

[Chorus]
I will not let go
I will not let go
I will not let go of you
I will not let go
I will not let go
I will not let go of you

[Verse 2]
Who or what controls the fates of men I cannot say
But I keep arriving safely home to you
And I humbly acknowledge that I won't always get my way
But, darling, death will have to pry my fingers loose

[Chorus]
