Standing in that silent hall;Waitin' for that final callSays he doesn't love me anymoreShakin' hands, I pack a bag;Tremblin' voice, I call a cabSlowly I start walkin' through the door;The cab arrives, he blows his hornI stumble out in the early morn'Tell him of the place I've got to goHit a hundred signal lights; Peterbilts in a traffic fightGettin' to these doors has been so slow.
L.A. International AirportWhere the big jet engines roarL.A. International AirportI won't see him anymore.Stewardess in a mini-skirt; Hippie in a leather shirtStarlet on her way to Naples; RomeWhile I'm wonderin' where it's at; I see a Paris diplomatCollege kids are tryin' to get back home;Baggage car goes quickly by; See my case and I start to cryStumble to the lounge to be aloneAnd while I'm tryin' to get some rest; I bite my lips and try my bestTo fight the pain that's makin' me leave home.
L.A. International AirportWhere the big jet engines roarL.A. International AirportI won't see him anymore.
With Silver wings across the sky; Vapor trails that wave goodbyeTo those below who've got to stay at homeI wish that I had flown at night;So I could take that Champagne flightRid myself of every tear I own;Soaring high above the heavens; In a seven-forty-sevenFighting back the tears that curse my eyesCaptain's voice so loud and clear; Amplifies into my earAssuring me I'm flying friendly skies.
L.A. International AirportWhere the big jet engines roarL.A. International AirportI won't see him anymore.
