Lyrics

Silver wings
Shining in the sunlight
Roaring engines
Headed somewhere in flight
They're takin' you away
Leavin' me lonely
Silver wings
Slowly fadin' out of sight
"Don't leave me", I cry
Don't take no airplane ride
But you locked me out of your mind
And left me standing here behind
Silver wings
Shining in the sunlight
Roaring engines
Headed somewhere in flight
They're takin' you away
Leavin' me lonely
Silver wings
Slowly fadin' out of sight
Silver wings
Shining in the sunlight
Roaring engines
Headed somewhere in flight
They're takin' you away
Leavin' me lonely
Silver wings
Slowly fadin' out of sight
Silver wings
Slowly fadin' out of sight
