Captain's telling me that I am welcome

He's saying that soon this bird will fly

He says the forecast's looking fine



’Cross the runway I can see you

Looking lost and trying not to cry

I see you getting smaller

I wish that I could stall her

Leave this plane but



Chorus:



L.A. goodbye, oh oh oh

L.A. goodbye

L.A. goodbye, oh oh oh

Two hearts in love that will die



In just a minute says the captain

We'll take off from here and ride the sky

He says it's still "No Smoking"



All along we knew that this would happen

We just tried to hide it from ourselves

We tried to stay together

As if it was forever

Oh forever



Chorus



L.A. goodbye

From way up high

L.A. goodbye

Two hearts in love that will die
