Lyrics
It’s just a simple love affair
Two people met, they learned to care
And found themselves in Heaven
To you maybe the story’s nothing new
To them it’s all their wildest dreams come true
Chorus:
Although some people say he’s just a crazy guy
To her he means a million other things
For he’s the one who taught
That happy heart of hers to fly
He wears a pair of silver wings.
And though it’s pretty tough, the job he does above
She wouldn’t have him change it for a king’s
An ordinary fellow in the uniform she loves
He wears a pair of silver wings
She’s so full of pride when they go walking
Every time he’s home on leave
He with those wings on his tunic
She with her heart on her sleeve
But when she’s left alone and they are far apart
She sometimes wonders what tomorrow brings
For she adores that crazy guy
Who taught her happy heart
To wear a pair of silver wings
