Seals & Crofts - Paper Airplanes Lyrics
(lyrics by James Seals; music by James Seals & Dash Crofts, 1970)From the albums YEAR OF SUNDAY (1972) and MIDDLE OF THE ROAD (1972).I'm a man who has lived my life alone.In seclusion, confusion, I'm dying, all I wanted was a son.I would take him on my knee, hold him close to me.Provide protection, direction, I'd love him, all I wanted was a son.Well I'd take him to the zoo to see the animals.And I'd buy him lollipops in Summertime.And I'd make him paper airplanes, take him to the moviesAnd give him a quarter when he asked for a dime.I'm a man who has dreamed my whole life awayThe day she left me only kept meFrom giving something livingFor the world to remember me.
