Leaving on a jet plane
John Denver

All my bags are packed,
I'm ready to go,
I'm standing here outside your door,

I hate to wake you up to say good-bye.
But the dawn is breaking,
it's early morn,
the taxi's waiting
He's blowing 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 leaving 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.

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 leaving 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:
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 leaving on a jet plane,
don't know when I'll be back again.
Oh, babe, I hate to go.

I'm leaving on a jet plane,
don't know when I'll be back again.
Oh, babe, I hate to go.



Leaving on a jet plane
Chantal Kreviazuk

I'm ... I'm ...

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 leaving on a jet plane
I don't know when I'll be back again
Oh, babe, I hate to go

I'm ...

There's so many times I've let you down
So many times I've played around
I'll tell you now, they don't mean a thing

Every place I go, I think of you
Every song I sing, I 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 leaving on a jet plane
I 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, oh, let me kiss you
And close your eyes and I'll be on my way

Dream about the days to come
When I won't have to leave alone
About the times that 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 leaving on a jet plane
I don't know when I'll be back again
Oh, babe, I hate to go

And I'm leaving on a jet plane
I don't know when I'll be back again
Oh, babe, I hate to go

But I'm leaving on a jet plane
(Ah ah ah ah)
Leaving on a jet plane
(Ah ah ah ah)
Leaving on a jet plane
(Ah ah ah ah)
Leaving on a jet plane
(Ah ah ah ah)
Leaving on a jet plane
(Ah ah ah ah)
Leaving on a jet plane
(Ah ah ah ah)
Leaving on a jet plane
(Ah ah ah ah)
Leaving on a jet plane
(Ah ah ah ah)
(Leaving) On a jet plane


currently very addicted to this song also. listened to snow patrol yesterday night until my battery died. might have listened to it for more than 30 times :D

but this song cannot afford to listen to it for so many times cuz the lyrics are freaking sad... sigh...

exams... never felt worse. this time it is really terrible. don't know how to tell y dad. must let him be prepared. chem sucked. mcq is the worst!. physics, maybe should give up... gp, no need to comment... econs is over. so i should just forget about it.

feels like i cannot do a levels. if it is like this, how on earth am i going to do well for a levels! damn it! T.T

that's why i am drowning in songs... emo songs :p


Cancer
My Chemical Romance

Turn away

If you could get me a drink
Of water cause my lips are chapped and faded
Call my Aunt Marie
Help her gather all my things
And bury me
In all my favorite colors,
My sisters and my brothers, still,
I will not kiss you, (O-Ooo)
Cause the hardest part of this,
Is leaving you.

Now turn away,
Cause I'm awful just to see
Cause all my hair's abandoned all my body,

All my agony,
Know that I will never marry,
Baby, I'm just soggy from the chemo,
But counting down the days to go.
It just ain't livin'
And I just hope you know,

That if you say,
Good-bye today,
I'd ask you to be true,
Cause the hardest part of this,
Is leaving you... (Whoa-oh-oh)

Cause the hardest part of this,
Is leaving you...


this song is very nice too! bl introduced :D anyway, i was thinking that Chantal Kreviazuk's version is better than John Denver's. no offense to his fans but he sing it without much emotions... but then, i am not good in music. after all, my music taste is weird... haha. their lyrics are a little different too. i like her voice better :D debated with bl about how mean the person is in leaving on a jet plane. look at the lyrics! he/she is asking someone to wait for them when he/she does not know whether he/she is even coming back! wth! :p
