Susan Raye - L.A. International Airport lyrics

rate me

Standing in that silent hall - waitin' for that final call

Says he doesn't love me anymore

Shaking hands I pack a bag; trembling voice I call a cab

Slowly I start walking to the door

The cab arrives; he blows his horn; I stumble out in the early morn

Tell him of the place I've got to go

Hit a hundred signal lights; Peterbilts in a traffic fight

Gettin' through these doors has been so slow

L.A. International Airport

Where the big jet engines roar

L.A. International Airport

I won't see him anymore

A stewardess in a mini-skirt, a hippie in a leather shirt

Started on the way to Naples, Rome

While I'm wonderin' where it's at, I see a Paris diplomat

College kids are trying to get back home

Baggage cart goes quickly by, see my case and I start to cry

Stumble to the lounge to be alone

And while I'm trying to get some rest I bite my lips and try my best

To fight the pain that's makin' me leave home

L.A. International Airport

Where the big jet engines roar

L.A. International Airport

I won't see him anymore

With silver wings across the sky; vapor trails that wave goodbye

To those below who've got to stay at home

I wish that I had flown at night so I could take that champagne flight

Rid myself off every tear I own

Soaring high above the heavens in a seven-forty-seven

Fighting back the tears that hurts my eyes

The Captain's voice so load and clear - amplifies into my ear

Assuring me I’m flying friendly skies

L.A. International Airport

Where the big jet engines roar

L.A. International Airport

I won't see him anymore...
