Tom Paxton - I Lost My Heart On A 747 lyrics

I lost my heart On a 747 Halfway to heaven Pa**ing over Des Moines Her looks were smart I met her in the aisle She gave me her smile I knew our futures we'd join There in the middle of a spicy movie Starring Natalie Wood We made our vows together Cutting our steaks as best we could My love Removed her earphones And told me in her dear tones She had to powder her nose She pushed and shoved Through a dozen stewardesses Handing out their addresses And a-straightening their hose Time flew I knew something had gone wrong Where was my love She'd been gone too long I searched But I couldn't find Diana When we landed in Havana Not a trace could I see I asked around Interest couldn't have been keener And everyone had seen her And she was looking for me Knocking madly on the powder room doors Tears were in my eyes Excepting three or four masculine roars I heard no answering cries I searched And I must have looked for hours ‘Til Kennedy tower Gave permission to land Farewell to the future we planned Fighting madly in the baggage claim Just like World-War Two I thought I heard her calling my name But I lost my love and my baggage, too She's gone Now we'll never fly united A promise unrequited No future to join Our love Is on a 747 Halfway to heaven Pa**ing over Des Moines
