Silver Wings Lyrics

Silver wings shining in the sunlight
Roaring engines headed somewhere in flight
They're taking you away, and they're leaving me lonely
Silver wings slowly fading out of sight

Don't leave me, I cry
Don't take that airplane ride
But you locked me out of your mind
And left me standing here behind

Silver wings shining in the sunlight
Roaring engines headed somewhere in flight
They're taking you away and leaving me lonely
Silver wings slowly fading out of sight

But don't leave me, I cry
Don't take that airplane ride
Oh, but you locked me out of your mind
And left me standing here behind

Silver wings shining in the sunlight
Roaring engines headed somewhere in flight
Oh, they're taking you away, and they're leaving me lonely
Silver wings slowly fading out of sight
Silver wings slowly fading out of sight
Silver wings
Silver wings

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
