(lengthy instrumental intro) 
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 
(brief instrumental interlude) 
For I adore that crazy guy who taught my happy heart To wear a pair of silver wings
