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)
