Over the city in an airplane
   I can see everything below
   The houses they look so tiny
   The cars look like dots
   We've only got fifteen minutes to go
  
   The clouds in the sky caress my mind so tenderly
   The sun shines down on the great big beautiful scene
  
   The sound of the engine fills my ears up
   I'm hopin' this rainy weather clears up
   My lover is waiting at the airport
   Soon she'll be kissing me hello
  
   The woman sitting next to me tells me 'bout her guy
   And I tell her all about you and I
  
   Airplane, airplane
   Carry me back to her side
   Airplane, airplane
   I need God as my guide
   Down, down on the ground
   Can't wait to see her face
  
   (a-1, a-2, a-1, 2, 3)
   I can't wait (can't wait)
   To see (her face)
   I can't wait (can't wait)
   To see (her face)
   I can't wait (can't wait)
   To see (her face)
   I can't wait (can't wait)
   To see (her face)
   I can't wait (can't wait)
   To see (her face)
   I can't wait (can't wait)
   To see (her face)
   I can't wait (can't wait)
   To see (her face)
   I can't wait (can't wait)
   To see (her face)
   I can't wait (can't wait)
   To see (her face)
