This song is pretty straightforward in terms of meaning, and it does a nice job of telling the story in a tender way. Right around the time this song came out, there was a movie about Amelia Earhart, and I feel this song would have been the ideal "roll credits" mood setting for the ending. But, alas, that didn't happen.
Some personal thoughts: the production reminds me a lot of 10cc's "I'm Not In Love", which is amazing so that's a high compliment. Also, the line "It's just like flying" always gets me all emotional. The "it" is death, of course. I love everything about this song.
