Although some people say he's just a crazy guy

To me he means a million other things

For he's the one who taught this happy heart of mine to fly

He wears a pair of silver wings



And though it's pretty tough, the job he does above

I wouldn't have him change it for a king

An ordinary fellow in a uniform I love

He wears a pair of silver wings



Why, I'm so full of pride when we go walking

Every time he's home on leave

He with those wings on his tunic

And me with my heart on my sleeve



But when I'm left alone and we are far apart

I sometimes wonder what tomorrow brings

For I adore that crazy guy who taught my happy heart

To wear a pair of silver wings



For I adore that crazy guy who taught my happy heart

To wear a pair of silver wings
