Silver Wings & Golden Rings

[Verse 1]

It was Friday night and both of us were lonely

We seemed to meet as lonely people do

To fill that empty space till Monday morning

I never meant to fall in love with you

[Pre-Chorus 1]

Came right out and told me 'bout your wife back home in Houston

You were just in town on business, you never tried to lead me on

Time had seemed just fine to simply love you for the moment

Heaven help me, time ran out, now the moment's gone

[Chorus]

Silver wings and golden rings are taking you today

And I'll be dying on the ground while you are flying away

Silver wings and golden rings are shinning on and on

While the only love I've ever known is gone

[Verse 2]

And you made me feel like I was something special

The way no other man ever done

And I knew last night would have to last forever

There's just no way of holding back the sun

[Pre-Chorus 2]

And now I guess it's time for me to drive you to the airport

To hold back all my tears and tell you it's been nice

If you come back to town again, know I'd love to see you

Remember I'm not strong enough to let go of you twice

[Chorus]

Silver wings and golden rings are taking you today

And I'll be dying on the ground while you are flying away

Silver wings and golden rings are shinning on and on

And while the only love I've ever known is gone

[Outro]

Silver wings and golden rings are taking you today

And I'll be dying on the ground while you are flying away

Silver wings and golden rings are shinning on and on

While the only love I've ever known is gone
