Silver wings ,
Shining in the sunlight,
Roaring engines,
Headed somewhere in flight
They're taking you away
Leaving me lonely
Silver wings
Slowly fading out of sight

Don't leave me I cried
Don't take that airplane ride
But you locked me out of your mind
Left me standing here behind

Silver wings ,
Shining in the sunlight,
Roaring engines,
Headed somewhere in flight
They're taking you away
Leaving me lonely
Silver wings
Slowly fading out of sight

Guitar break

Silver wings ,
Shining in the sunlight,
Roaring engines,
Headed somewhere in flight
They're taking you away
Leaving me lonely
Silver wings
Slowly fading out of sight
Slowly fading out of sight
