Airport

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I stand on the tallest building And stare down at the grey runway And the tail-smoke of the Boeing jet That's taking you so far away [Chorus] Believe me, I don't want you to leave me; Look in my eyes and you'll see them filled with pain Imagine just how sad I'll be In some future day when I turn And no longer see your face All I can now cry is goodbye, love, goodbye [Verse 2] In a week, in a month, in a year In a lifetime how I'll feel none can tell All I know is now you're going There's really no-one here to help [Chorus] Believe me, I don't want you to leave me; Look in my eyes and you'll see them filled with pain Imagine just how sad I'll be In some future day when I turn And no longer see your face All I can now cry is goodbye, love, goodbye [Bridge] Already it's too late, you're through the boarding-gate And walking on the tarmac Already you are free, already you've left me And cannot bear to look back, can you? [Verse 3] A brief taxi on the runway Then up into the stilling night sky; And I'm standing on the observation tower My eyes too dimmed by distance to cry [Outro] Believe me, I don't want you to leave me; Look in my eyes and you'll see them filled with pain Imagine just how sad I'll be In some future day when I turn And no longer see your face All I can now do is walk away alone without you
