some old california memory

Singer:conlee, john

two allegheny engines broke the silence of the morning

cause whisper jets don't whisper when they take your world away

the one that i was livin' for flew out and she's glad

that's too bad

lord

she's all i ever had

there she goes on that 747

climbing higher into heaven

than my angel ever dared to fly

and she's twice as high on some old california memory

than she ever was on me

that silver bird is sparkling like a diamond in the sunlight

and the vapor trail is faded like the love she had for me

her soft and tender feelings left with her when she was glad

that's too bad 'cause she's all i ever had

there she goes on that 747

climbing higher into heaven

than my angel ever dared to fly

and she's twice as high on some old california memory

than she ever was on me

there she goes on that 747

climbing higher into heaven

than my angel ever dared to fly

and she's twice as high on some old california memory

than she ever was on me
