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 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 taking you away
Leaving me lonely
Silver wings slowly fading out of sight

Don't leave me I cried
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 taking you away
Leaving me lonely
Silver wings slowly fading out of sight
Slowly fading out of sight
Fading out of sight
Slowly fading out of sight
Silver wings slowly fading out of sight
