Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Say you'll write your story
Pictures, dreams, and letters
Get your past existence off your mind
Life is such a miracle
Every day brings changes into your life
[Verse 2]
You could easily
Tell her you know the melody
You could get over her
You keep consoling her
Like a black and white movie
[Verse 3]
If you miss your aeroplane
Then you've got nowhere else to call
Just hearing your romantic schemes
Can set my heart to thundering
I'll long to see your bright and smiling eyes
[Verse 4]
Babe, the stars are sparkling in your tears
You'd better take my handkerchief and dry your eyes
Love is such a miracle
Every day brings brand new life
[Verse 5]
Why hesitate?
Why compromise?
You're a friend of mine
Suddenly, I am here with you
I won't get over you
I want control of you
You'll have to make your own move
[Verse 6]
Once I get hold of you
I won't let go of you
I'll miss my aeroplane too
I'll miss my aeroplane too
