This Flight Tonight lyrics
"Look out the left," the captain said
"The lights down there, that's where we'll land"
I saw a falling star burning up
Above the Las Vegas sand.
It wasn't the one that you gave to me
That night down south between the trailers
Not the early one that you can wish upon
Not the northern one that guides in the sailors.
Oh, star bright, star bright, you've got the lovin' that I like
All right
Turn this crazy bird around
Should not have got on this flight tonight.
You've got that touch so gentle and sweet
But you've got that look so critical now
I can't talk to you babe, I get so weak
Sometimes I think love is just mythical.
Up there's a heaven, down there's a town
Blackness everywhere any little lights shine
Blackness, blackness draggin' me down
Come on light the candle in this poor heart of mine.
Oh, star bright, star bright, you've got the lovin' that I like
All right
Turn this crazy bird around
Should not have got on this flight tonight.
I'm drinkin' sweet champagne, got the headphones up high
Can't numb you, can't drum you out of my mind
They're playin': "Goodbye baby,
Baby bye-bye.
Ooh! Love is blind."
Up go the flaps, down go the wheels
I hope you got your heat turned on, baby
I hope they've finally fixed your automobile
Hope it's better when we meet again, babe.
Star bright, star bright, you've got the lovin' that I like
All right
Turn this crazy bird around
Should not have got on this flight tonight.
