Lyrics

[Chorus]
Silver wings shinin' in the sunlight
Roaring engines headed somewhere in flight
And they're takin' you away, leavin' me lonely
Silver wings slowly fading out of sight
[Verse 1]
"Don't leave me," I cry
Don't take that airplane ride
But you locked me out of your mind
And left me standing here behind
[Chorus]
Silver wings shinin' in the sunlight
Roaring engines headed somewhere in flight
And they're takin' you away, leavin' me lonely
Silver wings slowly fading out of sight
[Verse 2]
"Don't leave me," I cry
Don't take that airplane ride
But you locked me out of your mind
And left me standing here behind
[Chorus]
Silver wings shinin' in the sunlight
Roaring engines headed somewhere in flight
And they're takin' you away, leavin' me lonely
Silver wings slowly fading out of sight
[Verse 3]
"Don't leave me," I cry
Don't take that airplane ride
But you locked me out of your mind
And left me standing here behind
[Chorus]
Silver wings shinin' in the sunlight
Roaring engines headed somewhere in flight
And they're takin' you away, and leavin' me lonely
Silver wings slowly fading out of sight
Silver wings slowly fading out of sight
