Leaving on a Jet Plane

Leaving on a Jet PlaneLeaving on a Jet PlaneLeaving on a Jet PlaneLeaving on a Jet PlaneLeaving 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

Leaving on a Jet Plane

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
Every place I go, I'll think of you
Every song I sing, I'll sing for you
When I come back, I'll bring your wedding ring

Leaving on a Jet Plane

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,"

"Leaving on a Jet Plane" is a song written by John Denver in 1966 and most famously recorded by Peter, Paul and Mary. The original title of the song was "Oh Babe I Hate to Go" but Denver's then producer, Milt Okun, convinced him to change the title.  I have nothing else to add.

Yassas and thank you Mykonos for  one of the best times of my life.
