Lyrics
Dear Helena, I sit here squashed like a grape thinking of you from 40,000 feet above.
Nothing to do but dream of the future while I'm thankful for the legroom in my exit row.
Short term, who really has claim to this arm rest? Long term, who decides where you and I might soon nest.
Private school public school how many kids? When we someday grow old will you still like to kiss?
Who deserves someone so wonderful as you??? Surely not I... but somehow i stole your smile and I'd love to stay awhile.
Shortcomings I've many but this song's not about that It's about what i do have to give.
All my heart, all my love, all my care and affection, and while I've not the best grammar i take good direction i'm free for correction. I hadn't thought this would ever be me... You special silly pretty girl, you have caught my attention.
Dear Helena, United Flight 342 brings me right home to you, i'll grab my bags and vamoose we'll scoot head off me and you, into the sunset me and you nothing, feels so good to be coming home,
Dear Helena, yes I'm on my way home, i've been gone way too long, by now you realize this is your song with love from 40,000 feet above.
Feels like this ride could go on forever, it's from Denver to Boston time moves slowly but alas I digress. It's the anticipation mixed with a bit of frustration as I get a dose of stagnant isle seat breath.
But I know soon we'll be laughing, embracing and making it a night that we'll not soon forget.
Dear Helena, United 342 brings me right home to you, I'll grab my bags and vamoose we'll scoot head off me and you, this night is long overdue
Dear Helena, (we've got) for the rest of our lives I'll be right by your side we could make this for all time
Dear Helena, United Flight 342, has finally brought me home to you
And I've arrived with a song... with love from 40,000 feet above
