Lyrics

Silver Wings

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

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 cry

Don't take that airplane ride

But you lock me outta your mind

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

Slowly fading out of sight
