All my bags are packed, Im ready to go
Im standing here outside your door
I hate to wake you up to say goodbye
But the dawn is breakin, its early morn
The taxis waiting, hes blowin his horn
Already Im so lonesome I could cry.

Chorus:
So kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that youll wait for me
Hold me like youll never let me go.
Im leavin on a jet plane
I dont know when Ill be back again
Oh, babe, I hate to go.

Theres so many times Ive let you down
So many times Ive played around
I tell you now, they dont mean a thing
Every place I go, I think of you
Every song I sing, I sing for you
When I come back, Ill wear your wedding ring.

(chorus)

Now the time has come to leave you
One more time let me kiss you
Then close your eyes, Ill be on my way.
Dream about the days to come
When I wont have to leave alone
About the times, I wont have to say,

(chorus)

1. I know, sad, isn't it?

And John Denver, who wrote it, is dead too.

RIP Mary. :(

2. Mary Travers was a beautiful singer and a wonderful person.

Every time I hear "Leavin on a Jet Plane" I always remember a guy I went to high school with. He enlisted in the Air Force right after we graduated in June, 1970 and he was dating one of my good friends. Tim was the class clown but everyone loved him. He was quite the character. He committed suicide when he was 25. RIP Mary and Tim.. I'll never forget either one. :cry: :cry:
