It was Friday night And both of us were lonely We seemed to meet as lonely people do I filled that empty space till Monday morning I never meant to fall in love with you Came right out and told me About your wife back home in Houston You were just in town on business You never tried to lead me on Time had seemed just fine Simply love you for the moment Heaven help me time ran out Now the moment's gone
[Chorus:] Silver wings and golden rings Are taking you today And I'll be dying on the ground While you are flying away Silver wings and golden rings Are shinning on and on While the only love I've ever known is gone
You made me feel like I was something special The way no other man ever done And I knew last night Would have to last forever It's just no way of holding back the sun And now I guess it's time for me To drive you to the airport Hold back all my tears Tell you it's been nice If you come back to town again Know I love to see you Remember I'm not strong enough To let go of you twice
