Oh, the city of a lover was a crystal jewel as it lay
'neath the wing
And I was on my way to a love so true
That I wanted to shout and sing
My mind raced ahead of that double-armed jet
As it roared through the open sky, yeah
And all that I could think of was holding you
Then and hearing your gentle sighs
Your breath and your kiss could take away
Well all of this mental strife
I'd been away for two long weeks,
Lord, it seemed, seemed like all of my life
Oh my lady fair, we made love right there
And now you do not care
And I don't want to have to bear the thought
The thought, the thought, the thought
Of you not, no, being there
And I do not want to be
Don't ever want to be left alone
You know, you know it's making me feel so sad
Make me feel bad
These lights in the city were burning bright
And I was comin' in at 18,000 feet
And I knew that you were going to be there
And I just couldn't keep in my,
I couldn't keep in my seat, yeah
I knew that you wanted to see me
Like I wanted to see you too
When I got there the place was bare
And I could not believe it was true
I came back that very same day
And I stayed long into the night
How I wished that you could be there
I wished with all of my might
Oh my lady fair, we made love right there
And now you do not care
And I don't want to have to bear the thought
The thought, the thought, the thought
Of you not, no, being there
And I do not want to be
Don't ever want to be left alone
