@Markymark-h3flondon, 1978... right back there. ty.
@simongentrywhen the UK was not full of the SCUM of the planet and our politicians were not evil lying bastards those were the days now sadly very gone 2026
@josephberrie95501978,great year. Love and loved this .Mum bought it for me for getting a good school report ๐
@catkin9046Wow!!
@gerritschout6795This song brings me joy, and I am never fed up of it, so I listen to it every day - sometimes in the morning and in the evening.
I got to know it cause my brother bought the single when it came.. Great choice really.!
I love this song. It always brings me joy..! In the past I didn't know the meaning of the lyrics, because my English is not good enough, but now, with the help of the subtitles, I fully understand it and the title "Airport " takes all its sense. Nb: in my case it's the opposite: I take a flight to quit Mt friend, cause she's in the Philippines and I am in France...

@TheWeatherOutlookTWOSo many destination, faces going to so many places
Where the weather is much better and the food is so much cheaper
Well, I help her with her baggage for her baggage is so heavy
I hear the plane is ready by the gateway to take my love away
And I can't believe that she really wants to leave me
And it's getting me so, it's getting me so
Airport
Airport, you've got a smiling face
You took the one I love so far away
Fly her away, fly her away
Airport
Airport, you've got a smiling face
You took my lady to another place
Fly her away, fly her away
The plane is on the move and the traces of the love we had in places
Are turning in my mind, how I wish I'd been much stronger
For the wheels are turning faster as I hear the winds are blowing
I know that she is leaving on the jet plane way down the runaway
And I can't believe that she really wants to leave me
And it's getting me so, it's getting me so
Airport
Airport, you've got a smiling face
You took the one I love so far away
Fly her away, fly her away
Airport
Airport, you've got a smiling face
You took my lady to another place
Fly her away, fly her away
And I can't believe that she really wants to leave me
And it's getting me so, it's getting me so
Airport
Airport, you've got a smiling face
You took my lady to another place
Fly her away, fly her away
Airport
Airport, you've got a smiling face
You took my lady to another place
Fly her away, fly her away
Airport
Airport, you've got a smiling face
You took the one I love so far away
Fly her away, fly her away
Airport
Airport, you've got a smiling face
You took my lady to another place
Fly her away, fly her away
Airport
Airport, you've got a smiling face
You took the one I love so far away
Fly her away, fly her away
