Something of Silver

Story Behind The Song

The sense of loss and sadness experienced when the one you love leaves. Yet, you wish them the best in their new life. True love is setting someone free, and wishing them the very best in their new life. He rushes to the airport to profess his love but arrives seconds too late and watches the love of life fade into the clear, blue sky.

Lyrics

Something
Something
Something of silver

Oh, why must you leave me, why must you go
Somehow I must tell you, I need you so
You're leaving this morning on the eight-thirty plane
And if I miss this chance, I won't see you again

Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh
Ah ah ah ah ah

I rush to the airport, I must be on time
It's a matter of seconds, will you be mine
I'm here at the gates now and can only stand by
As your silver white jet plane reaches up for the sky

Something of silver took her away
I wanted to tell her I loved her today
If I would have told her, would she have stayed
And worn something of silver, with three words engraved

Within that jet plane is a tender young girl
Bound for a new and challenging world
I'd love to be with her as on the four winds she rides
May the sun warm your wings, and your dreams lift you high

Something of silver took her away
I wanted to tell her I loved her today
If I could have told her, would she have stayed
And worn something of silver, with three words engraved

Something
Something
Something
Something
Something
Of silver
