Written by Jim Peterik and Frankie Sullivan 1981 [Intro] Eb AbM7 x4 G C F E x4 [Verse 1]
Am
Fly above the hills and valleys

FM7
High above the streets and alleys

G             Em
On a home bound flight I carry

FM7
Love enough for one

Am
My emotions overflowing

FM7
Anticipation growing

G             Em
And the moment still not knowing

FM7              C   Eb
Seems to weigh a ton
[Bridge]
AbM7
And those scenarios

 Eb AbM7
They spin in my mind

 Eb AbM7                   Eb
They drift, like the clouds

AbM7                Eb    G
They sail through the night
[Chorus]
C
And when I see those runway lights

       C         Bm    Am
In the town that I was born

        Am                   FM7
I say a silent prayer you'll still be there

C
And as my plane is touching down

C         Bm     Am                           FM7
Will I still belong in the arms that held my life

          G                  C
Or have I stayed away to long
[Interlude] C F E [Verse 2]
Am
I see your face in midnight driftings

FM7
By my side I hear your heartbeat

    G             Em
Closer still I hold your memory

FM7
Precious in my mind

Am
In the life that I've been chasing

FM7
So much times been wasted

    G             Em
I know I could be tasting

FM7              C   Eb
The love I left behind
[Bridge]
AbM7
And those scenarios

 Eb AbM7
They spin in my mind

 Eb AbM7                   Eb
They drift, like the clouds

AbM7                Eb    G
They sail through the night
[Chorus]
C
And when I see those runway lights

       C         Bm     Am
In the town that I was born

        Am                   FM7
I say a silent prayer you'll still be there

C
And as my plane is touching down

C         Bm     Am                           FM7
Will I still belong in the arms that held my life

          G                  C
Or have I stayed away to long
