Standing in that silent hall

Waiting for that final call

Says he doesn't love me anymore

With shakin' hands, I pack a bag

Trembling voice, I call a cab

Slowly I start walkin' through the door



Cab arrives, he blows his horn

I stumble out in the early morn'

Tell him of the place I've got to go

We hit a hundred signal lights

Some Peterbuilts in a traffic fight

Gettin' to these doors has been so slow



L.A. International Air-airport, where the big jet engines roar

L.A. International Air-airport, I won't see him anymore



Stewardess in a mini-skirt

Hippie in a leather shirt

Starlet on her way to Naples, Rome

While I'm wonderin' where it's at

I see a Paris diplomat

College kids tryin' to get back home



Baggage car goes quickly by

I see my case and I start to cry

Stumble to the lounge to be alone

And while I'm tryin' to get some rest

I bite my lips and try my best

To fight the pain that's makin' me leave ho-ome



L.A. International Air-airport, where the big jet engines roar

L.A. International Air-airport, I won't see him anymore



Silver wings across the sky

Vapour trails that wave goodbye

To those below who've got to stay at home

I wish that I had flown at night

So I could take that champagne flight

Rid myself of every tear I own



Soaring high above the heavens

In a seven-forty-seven

Fighting back the tears that curse my eyes

Captain's voice so loud and clear

Amplifies into my ear

Assuring me I'm flying a friendly sky



L.A. International Air-airport, where the big jet engines roar

L.A. International Air-airport, I won't see him anymore

L.A. Inte
