Now, I would give anything to have that flyer for my own
And I wondered if I'd know him if I saw his wings in motion
God bless the flyer who would be flying home tonight
God bless the flyer who would be flying home tonight
And I said I was too clumsy that I broke the wings of the loves I found
He'd heard me on the radio, I'd seen the flyers on San Antone
I would give anything to see that flyer, flyin' tonight
'Cause I would give anything to see that flyer, flyin' tonight
He said he'd never marry 'cause, his heart was in the clouds

I wish that you could tell me now, will he be flyin' home tonight?
One year I watched a war in London, in the airport leaving London
'Cause I would give anything to see that flyer, flyin' tonight
We played cards, mostly blackjack, as we sat out on the tarmac

'Cause I would give anything to see that flyer, flyin' tonight
Changing planes in Pittsburgh, we got grounded in a storm
And he shouted out his name to me as I ran to make my flight
Did I leave my heart in Pittsburgh, in the lightening of that flight?

God bless the flyer who would be flying home tonight
Now, I would give anything to be on that flyer's arm
We sang songs we knew in Spanish, as we both loved songs of language
