747 (Strangers in the Night)

Lyrics

[Verse 1] We've got a seven forty seven coming down in the night There's no power, there's no runway lights Radio operator, try to get a message through Tell the flight deck New York has no lights There's no power, what do we do? Seven forty seven coming down in the night Try to get a message through [Chorus] We were strangers in the night Both on separate flights Strangers in the night Going nowhere We were strangers in the night Both on separate flights Strangers in the night Going nowhere [Verse 2] This is Scandinavian one-o-one Flight from Hawaii coming out of the sun Kennedy should be in sight We can't see a thing here in the night Navigator says we're on the flight path There's no radio, no sign of life This is Scandinavian one-o-one For God's sake, get the ground lights on [Chorus] As we were strangers in the night Both on separate flights Strangers in the night Going nowhere We were strangers in the night Both on separate flights Strangers in the night Going nowhere [Instrumental Break] [Verse 3] There's a seven forty seven going into the night There's no power, they don't know why They've no fuel, they've got to land soon They can't land by the light of the moon They're overshooting, there's no guiding lights Set a course into the night Scandinavian one-o-one For God's sake get your ground lights on [Chorus] We were strangers in the night Lost on separate flights Strangers in the night Going nowhere We were strangers in the night Lost on separate flights Strangers in the night Going nowhere [Bridge] Strangers in the night We were strangers in the night Strangers in the night We were strangers in the night [Chorus] Strangers in the night Both on separate flights Strangers in the night Going nowhere We were strangers in the night Flight one-o-one Strangers in the night Going nowhere
