Phil Keaggy - Amelia Earhart's Last Flight

Amelia Earhart's Last Flight


Just a ship out on the ocean, just a speck against the sky
Amelia Earhart flying out that day
With her partner Captain Noonan on the second day of July
She fell into the ocean far away.

And there's a beautiful, beautiful field
Far away in a land that is fair
Happy landings to you, Amelia Earhart
Farewell, first lady of the air.

Twenty minutes later an SOS was heard
The voice that came was weak but sounded brave
In the shark infested waters plane came down that day
And our heroes fell into a watery grave.

And there's a beautiful, beautiful field
Far away in a land that is fair
Happy landings to you, Amelia Earhart
Farewell, first lady of the air.

Now you've heard the story of this awful tragedy
We pray that she may fly home safe again
And in years to come though others blaze a trail across the sea
We'll never forget Amelia and her plane.

And there's a beautiful, beautiful field
Far away in a land that is fair
Happy landings to you, Amelia Earhart
Farewell, first lady of the air.
