[Verse 1]
I said I tried to change my ticket, but I couldn't get a flight
Oh, I was ornery with the operator, almost caused a fight
Woulda done it in a minute, woulda stayed another night
With you, with you
So I'll leave here in the morning, but I'll leave behind my heart
I won't be grieving, won't be mourning even as my plane departs
'Cause I'll be back with you, darling, soon, and I won't be apart
From you, from you

[Pre-Chorus]
She turns and as she moves over
She leans in and she pulls me closer
And she whispers this in my ear

[Chorus]
"Hold me in your arms again
Even though you've gotta go in a little
I know that it's not the end, but
When you go, it leaves a hole in the middle
Of my heart and in my chest
All I've got is one last request
Hold me in your arms again
Even though you've gotta go in a little"

[Verse 2]
She said, "No need to change your ticket, oh, I know that you would stay here
If you could and though it would be nice, don't worry, it's okay
I understand, I get it that you have to go away
I do, I do
And when you leave here in the morning and you leave with me your heart
I'll give you mine and we'll be fine, just know as you depart
I'll be there with you, darling, we don't have to be apart
It's true, it's true, mm
[Pre-Chorus]
She turns and as she moves over
She leans in and she pulls me closer
And she whispers this in my ear

[Chorus]
"Hold me in your arms again
Even though you've gotta go in a little
I know that it's not the end, but
When you go, it leaves a hole in the middle
Of my heart and in my chest
All I've got is one last request
Hold me in your arms again
Even though you've gotta go in a little"

[Outro]
(Go) Gotta go in a little
(Go) Gotta go in a little
"Of my heart and in my chest
All I've got is one last request
Hold me in your arms again
Even though you've gotta go in a little"
