I searched but I just couldn't find the lyrics to this song... I got this transcription from another website.

I LOST MY HEART ON A 747
(Tom Paxton)

I lost my heart on a 747
Halfway to heaven, passing over Des Moines
Her looks were smart, I met her in the aisle
She gave me her smile, I knew our futures we'd join

There in the middle of a spicy movie starring Natalie Wood
We made our vows together, cutting our steaks as best we could

My love removed her earphones
And told me in her dear tones, she had to powder her nose
She pushed and shoved through a dozen stewardesses
Handing out their addresses and straightening their hose

Time flew, I knew something had gone wrong
Where was my love? She'd been gone too long

I searched but I couldn't find Diana
When we landed in Havana, not a trace could I see
I asked around, interest couldn't have been keener
And everyone had seen her, and she was looking for me

Knocking madly on the powder room doors, tears were in my eyes
Excepting three or four masculine roars, I heard no answering cries

I searched, and I must have looked for hours
Till Kennedy towers gave permission to land

Farewell to the future we planned...

Fighting madly in the baggage claim, it's just like World War Two
I thought I heard her calling my name, but I lost my love and my baggage, too

She's gone, now we'll never fly united
A promise unrequited, no future to join
Our love on a 747
Halfway to heaven, passing over Des Moines
