 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
