Saying goodbye at the airport can sometimes lead to a journey, not only for the person going away, but also for the one left behind...

TURN AROUND
©Rob Russell Davies 2005

Turn around
Won't you turn around
Will you turn and wave good-bye
Before you climb aboard your silver jet
And fade into the sky

I watch you walk away
And I'm so afraid
That I might not catch your eye
So why don't you turn around?
Baby turn around
Turn around
Let me see you one more time

And as you walk towards the plane
I can't help thinking I'm travelling too
My journey's just begun, and won't be done
Until I learn to live without you
So baby fly... fly... fly... away
And take your chance to spread your wings
But as we reach the end
I'm asking you once again...

Why don't you turn around
Baby turn around
Will you turn and wave goodbye
Before you climb aboard your silver jet
And fade into the sky

And do you really know
If you wanna go?
And will you come back home one day?
But when you turn around
Baby turn around
Turn around
Baby turn around
When you turn around
You might find I've turned away.
