Leaving on a Jet Plane

Hey there bloggy,

It's been a while, isn't it... Well, here I am now... Each day is a struggle for me now... I don't know how to cope with my feelings once I'm gone. I hope I am strong enough not to cry. Hey, I am leaving for a good reason, aren't I? Don't worry buddy, I will always remember you. When I come back, you will be the first person whom I would like to see. I'll hug you real tight that day. Please don't forget me buddy. I love you.

Anyway, I think I haven't posted some of my favorite tracks for a while now. This is definitely one of my favorites. Come to think of it, many of us love this wonderful song. It's called "Leaving on a Jet Plane" (written in 1966), performed by John Denver. Of course, you can find thousands making cover on this one but what's better than the original, right?!

Here it goes...




John Denver - Leaving on a Jet Plane

All my bags are packed I'm ready to go I'm standin' here outside your door I hate to wake you up to say goodbye But the dawn is breakin' It's early morn The taxi's waitin' He's blowin' his horn Already I'm so lonesome I could die
So kiss me and smile for me Tell me that you'll wait for me Hold me like you'll never let me go 'Cause I'm leavin' on a jet plane Don't know when I'll be back again Oh babe, I hate to go
There's so many times I've let you down So many times I've played around I tell you now, they don't mean a thing Ev'ry place I go, I'll think of you Ev'ry song I sing, I'll sing for you When I come back, I'll wear your wedding ring
So kiss me and smile for me Tell me that you'll wait for me Hold me like you'll never let me go 'Cause I'm leavin' on a jet plane Don't know when I'll be back again Oh babe, I hate to go
Now the time has come to leave you One more time Let me kiss you Then close your eyes I'll be on my way Dream about the days to come When I won't have to leave alone About the times, I won't have to say
Oh, kiss me and smile for me Tell me that you'll wait for me Hold me like you'll never let me go 'Cause I'm leavin' on a jet plane Don't know when I'll be back again Oh babe, I hate to go
But, I'm leavin' on a jet plane Don't know when I'll be back again Oh babe, I hate to go
