Jewel and Merle Haggard - Silver Wings

Duet with Merle Haggard in 1999

Lyrics :
Silver wings shining in the sunlight,
roaring engines headed somewhere in flight.
Their taking you away, leaving me lonley,
silver wings slowly fading out of sight.
Don't leave me i cry, don't take that airplane ride.
But you locked me out of your mind. left me
standing here behind.
Silver wings shining in the sunlight,
roaring engines headed somewhere in flight.
Their taking you away, leaving me lonely.
silver wings slowly fading out of sight.
Silver wings shining in the sunlight,
roaring engines headed somewhere in flight,
their taking you away. Leaving me lonely.
Silver wings slowly fading out of sight.
Slowley fading out of sight.

About Merle having 'lost it'--it's true his voice is only a shadow of what it was. But he still knows how to sing. And I'll take old beat-up Merle with not much voice left, over all the male singers on the current country Top 40 put together. He's the greatest.

Merle Haggard has one of the purest voices ever to be recorded. Coupled with Jewel this is one of the truly great duets of all time! Nearly perfect!

as we age our voices start to lose control of the throaty melody we once were able to produce..  ..cant usually sing like when younger.. but this is beautiful.. <3

I just saw Hag in Gatlinburg a few years back... there ain't nothing wrong with his voice. And he bounced all over the stage like a 20 year old.

Merle is great, but Conway was the greatest! This is a great song without Jewel.
