Airport Lyrics
[Verse 1]
So many destination faces going to so many places
Where the weather is much better
And the food is so much cheaper
Well, I help her with her baggage for her baggage is so heavy
I hear the plane is ready by the gateway
To take my love away
[Pre-Chorus]
I can't believe
That she really wants to leave me
And it's getting me so
It's getting me so
[Chorus]
Airport, airport
You've got a smiling face
You took the one I love so far away
Fly her away! Fly her away!
Airport, airport
You've got a smiling face
You took my lady to another place
Fly her away! Fly her away!
[Verse 2]
The plane is on the move and the traces of the love we had in places
Are turning in my mind
How I wish I'd been much stronger
For the wheels are turning faster as I hear the winds are blowing
I know that she is leaving on a jet plane
Way down the runaway
So many destination faces going to so many places
Where the weather is much better
And the food is so much cheaper
Well, I help her with her baggage for her baggage is so heavy
I hear the plane is ready by the gateway
To take my love away
[Pre-Chorus]
I can't believe
That she really wants to leave me
And it's getting me so
It's getting me so
[Chorus]
Airport, airport
You've got a smiling face
You took the one I love so far away
Fly her away! Fly her away!
Airport, airport
You've got a smiling face
You took my lady to another place
Fly her away! Fly her away!
[Verse 2]
The plane is on the move and the traces of the love we had in places
Are turning in my mind
How I wish I'd been much stronger
For the wheels are turning faster as I hear the winds are blowing
I know that she is leaving on a jet plane
Way down the runaway
[Pre-Chorus]
I can't believe
That she really wants to leave me
And it's getting me so
It's getting me so
[Chorus]
Airport, airport
You've got a smiling face
You took the one I love so far away
Fly her away! Fly her away!
Airport, airport
You've got a smiling face
You took my lady to another place
Fly her away! Fly her away!
[Bridge]
I can't believe
That she really wants to leave me
And it's getting me so
It's getting me so
[Outro]
Airport, airport
You've got a smiling face
You took my love to another place
Fly her away! Fly her away!
Airport, airport
You've got a smiling face
You took my lady to another place
Fly her away! Fly her away!
Airport, airport
You've got a smiling face
You took the one I love so far away
Fly her away! Fly her away!
Airport, airport
You've got a smiling face
You took my lady to another place
Fly her away! Fly her away!
Airport, airport
You've got a smiling face
You took the one I love so far away
Fly her away! Fly her away!
Airport, airport
You've got a smiling face
You took my lady to another place
Fly...
I can't believe
That she really wants to leave me
And it's getting me so
It's getting me so
[Chorus]
Airport, airport
You've got a smiling face
You took the one I love so far away
Fly her away! Fly her away!
Airport, airport
You've got a smiling face
You took my lady to another place
Fly her away! Fly her away!
[Bridge]
I can't believe
That she really wants to leave me
And it's getting me so
It's getting me so
[Outro]
Airport, airport
You've got a smiling face
You took my love to another place
Fly her away! Fly her away!
Airport, airport
You've got a smiling face
You took my lady to another place
Fly her away! Fly her away!
Airport, airport
You've got a smiling face
You took the one I love so far away
Fly her away! Fly her away!
Airport, airport
You've got a smiling face
You took my lady to another place
Fly her away! Fly her away!
Airport, airport
You've got a smiling face
You took the one I love so far away
Fly her away! Fly her away!
Airport, airport
You've got a smiling face
You took my lady to another place
Fly...
