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 though you locked me out of your mind
And left me standing here behind

Don't leave me, I cried
Don't take that airplane ride
But though 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 taking you away
And leaving me lonely
Silver wings
Slowly fading out of sight

Silver wings
Slowly fading out of sight
