One Flight Stand

Well, she was cussin' out her carry-on

Tryin' to stuff it in the over head baggage bin

Well, he was crossin' his fingers hopin'

Luck was 'bout to bring her to the empty seat next to him

Well, they shared a soft chuckle as he got unbuckled

And gave her a hand with a smile

She whispered, "appreciate it"

He said, "sugar, take your pick

"window or aisle"

Well, she slipped on in, said, "thanks again

"i love lookin' down at the clouds"

Well, he sat down, and said, "speakin' of clouds,

"i'm on cloud nine right now

"did i say that out loud"

Well, they missed the stewardess' demonstrationon

On floatation devices and oxygen masks

'cause they were too busy countin' off,

Kiddin' like a couple of kids in the back of the class

And the higher they flew

The further they fell into

A mile high, real life, fairytale

Whoa-oh, love took off

It wasn't ever gonna land

Yes, it was anything but

Anything but a one flight stand

Well, a message from the cap'n said "we're cruisin'

"at an altitude of thirty-two thousand feet"

Of course, he could've said, "we're crashing

"get your seatbelts fastened", then they

Would never would have skipped a beat

They only quit flirtin' for a minute

Just to tell the flight attendant,

"two ginger ales and two bags of peanuts"

Straight tables down, cocktails up

She said, "cheers"; he said, "here's to us"

And the further they flew

The further they fell into

A mile high, real life, fairytale

Whoa-oh, love took off

It wasn't ever gonna land

Yes, it was anything but

Anything but a one flight stand

Well, they sipped and snacked, they loved and laughed

To the bottom of their plastic cups

When the cap'n came back, said, "we're beginnin' our descent

"so put your seat back and tray tables up"

Well, he yanked a new paint-backed bubble gum

Out of his pocket and tore off the top

Picked out a sticker, said, "sugar, chew this

"it'll help your pretty ears pop"

And the lower they flew

The further they fell into

A mile high, real life, fairytale

Whoa-oh, love took off

It wasn't ever gonna land

Yes, it was anything but

Anything but a one flight stand

Well, the wheels touched the ground, and the plane slowed down

And taxied on over to the gate

She blushed when he said, "i'd kiss you goodbye

"but i never kiss on a first date"

Well, he grabbed a barf bag from the a seat back pocket

She pulled a pen out of her purse

He ripped it in two, wrote his number on one

And on the other half,

Yeah, on that other half

She wrote hers
