I met you on an aeroplane
The last year of the century
We were heading to the South of France
You were there for company
Into the Great Unknown we travelled, strangers in the sky
I said I was "just scared of falling"
When you laughed at my fear of heights

So this is for you, this is for you
This is for you, this is for you
I hope it makes you feel good...

We spoke of times that laid ahead
The greatest of escapes
Making plans for better days, as we landed in the rain
And the last thing I remember
You were waving from the taxi cab
Gone but not forgotten, to hold but to never have

And when I got 2,000 miles away from who I used to be
I tracked you down but I never got a chance to speak
And I'd love to get to know you, better than I ever did
So I wrote a song about you, it was all that I had to give

So this is for you, this is for you
This is for you, this is for you
I hope it makes you feel good...

This is for you...
I hope it makes you feel good...
