I sit alone in my darkened room just staring into space
I should have been with you by now, staring at your face
We had made so many plans to celebrate this night
We had planned for everything, except a cancelled flight

I imagine you in your darkened room and wishing I was there
And thinking of the weekend lost that just seems so unfair
I open up the wine I chose to toast our love anew
And close my eyes and make a silent toast to us, to you

I turn on our favorite song, and wipe away a tear
I wish that I was there with you, or that you could just be here
Sometime tonight I know you'll call, but it won't be the same
We had hoped to turn the spark of love into a roaring flame

I'll try to hide my disappointment when you finally call
And I know you'll do the same, but we can't hide it all
Because we made so many plans to celebrate this night
We had planned for everything, except a cancelled flight
