You don't know if it's hello or goodbye What kind of tears they are when they get cried All you know is somebody is coming or leavin' It don't really matter whatever the reason Something 'bout 'em gets me every time Kisses in airports Wide-open car doors So slow to let go Wrapped up with eyes closed Some mean "I missed you" Some mean "I'm going to" But somehow they mean more Kisses in airports There was a Crayon cardboard "Welcome home, Daddy" sign When he got the push deployed, she was just two pink lines And now it's sunburned lips on 10 little fingers And one for her mama, yeah that one lingers I'm pretty sure I wasn't the only one at baggage claim to cry Kisses in airports Thankin' the good Lord You didn't die out there Without seeing that curly red hair And that's why you hang on And that's how you make it home Got something to live for Kisses in airports When you dropped me off I was running late I just grabbed my bags and ran to the gate But what if I had never landed How many times do we take for granted? Like kisses in airports Wide open car doors No I don't want to let go I just want to make sure you know This one means I miss you This one means I'm going to Make every one I give you mean a little more Like kisses in airports Like kisses in airports.
