The plane engine is running,
the tears falling free,
We’re still thinking of you
though at 10,000 feet.
And if we should live
to a hundred and nine
We’ll think of you friends
in that wonderful time.
So be of good cheer and
your time will run out.
You’ll get in that plane
with your heart in your mouth,
Then you’ll know how we feel
as we fly through the sky,
And maybe then too you’ll
sit there and cry.”
