When you get this message I'll be high above the earth
Thinkin' 'bout the promises that I keep.
When I touch down in Texas, land in Dallas/Fort Worth
I will call you up and wake you from your sleep.

I will not let go
I will not let go
I will not let go of you.
I will not let go
I will not let go
I will not let go of you.

Who or what controls the fates of men I cannot say
But I keep arriving safely home to you.
And I humbly acknowledge that I won't always get my way
But darling death will have to pry my fingers loose.

'Cause I will not let go
I will not let go
I will not let go of you.
I will not let go
I will not let go
I will not let go of you.
