Silver Wings and Golden Rings

It was Friday night
And both of us were lonely
We seemed to meet as lonely people do
I filled that empty space till Monday morning

I never meant ton fall in love with you
Came right out and told me
About your wife back home in Houston
You were just in town on business
You never tried to lead me on

Time had seemed just fine
Simply love you for the moment
Heaven help me, time ran out
Now the moment's gone

Silver wings and golden rings
Are taking you today
And I'll be dying on the ground
While you are flying away

Silver wings and golden rings
Are shinning on and on
While the only love
I've ever known is gone

You made me feel like
I was something special
The way no other man ever done
And I knew last night
Would have to last forever

It's just no way of holding back the sun
And now I guess it's time for me
To drive you to the airport
Hold back all my tears
Tell you it's been nice

If you come back to town again
Know I love to see you
Remember I'm not strong enough
To let go of you twice

Silver wings and golden rings
Are taking you today
And I'll be dying on the ground
While you are flying away

Silver wings and golden rings
Are shinning on and on
While the only love
I've ever known is gone

Silver wings and golden rings
Are taking you today
And I'll be dying on the ground
While you are flying away

Silver wings and golden rings
Are shinning on and on
While the only love
I've ever known is gone
