Susan Raye: "L.A. International Airport" [FM Radio Quality]

Standing in that silent hall
Waitin' for that final call
Says he doesn't love me anymore
Shaking hands I pack a bag
Trembling voice I call a cab
Slowly I start walking to the door
The cab arrives he blows his horn
I stumble out in the early morn
Tell him of the place I've got to go
Hit a hundred signal lights
Peterbilt's and a traffic fight
Gettin' through these doors that's been so slow
L.A. International Airport
Where the big jet engines roar
L.A. International Airport
I won't see him anymore
A stewardess in a miniskirt
A hippie in a leather shirt
Started on the way to Naples Row
While I'm wondering where it's at
I see a Paris diplomat
College kids are trying to get back home
Baggage cart goes quickly by
I see my case and I start to cry
Stumble to the lounge to be alone
And while I'm trying to get some rest
I bite my lips and try my best
To fight the pain that's making me leave home
L.A. International Airport
Where the big jet engines roar
L.A. International Airport
I won't see him anymore
With silver wings across the sky
Vapor trails and 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 747
Fighting back the tears that curse my eyes
Captain's voice so loud and clear
Amplifies into my ear
Assuring me I'm flying friendly skies
L.A. International Airport
Where the big jet engines roar
L.A. International Airport
I won't see him anymore
