- This Flight Tonight LyricsLook out the left the captain said
The lights down there
That's where we'll land
Saw a falling star burnin'
High above the Las Vagas sand
It wasn't the one that you gave to me
That night down south between the trailer
Not the early one that you can wish upon
Not the northern one that guides in the sailors
Star bright, star bright
You've got the loving that I like
Turn this crazy bird around
Should not have got on this flight tonight
You got the touch so gentle and sweet
But you've got that look so critical
Can't talk to you baby you know I get so weak
Sometimes I think love is just mythical
Up there's a heaven, down there's a town
Blackness everywhere and little lights shine
Blackness, blackness dragging me down
Come on light the candle in this heart of mine
Star bright, star bright
You've got the loving that I like
Turn this crazy bird around
Should not have got on this flight tonight
I'm drinking sweet champagne
Got the headphones up high
Can't numb you, can't drum you out of my mind
And singing, "Goodbye baby, baby goodbye
Ooh, ooh, love is blind"
Up go the flaps down go the wheels
Hope you got your heat turned on baby
Hope they finally fixed your automobile
Hope it's better when we meet again, baby
Star bright, star bright
You've got the loving that I like
Turn this crazy bird around
Should not have got on this flight tonight
Should not have got on this flight tonight
The lights down there
That's where we'll land
Saw a falling star burnin'
High above the Las Vagas sand
It wasn't the one that you gave to me
That night down south between the trailer
Not the early one that you can wish upon
Not the northern one that guides in the sailors
Star bright, star bright
You've got the loving that I like
Turn this crazy bird around
Should not have got on this flight tonight
You got the touch so gentle and sweet
But you've got that look so critical
Can't talk to you baby you know I get so weak
Sometimes I think love is just mythical
Up there's a heaven, down there's a town
Blackness everywhere and little lights shine
Blackness, blackness dragging me down
Star bright, star bright
You've got the loving that I like
Turn this crazy bird around
Should not have got on this flight tonight
I'm drinking sweet champagne
Got the headphones up high
Can't numb you, can't drum you out of my mind
And singing, "Goodbye baby, baby goodbye
Ooh, ooh, love is blind"
Up go the flaps down go the wheels
Hope you got your heat turned on baby
Hope they finally fixed your automobile
Hope it's better when we meet again, baby
Star bright, star bright
You've got the loving that I like
Turn this crazy bird around
Should not have got on this flight tonight
Should not have got on this flight tonight
