I'm out the door for a trip back to my boyhood home and alma mater. And this also makes my belated entry into the SONG category.
Be sure to read the altered lyrics.
My Apologies To
LEAVING ON A JET PLANE
John Denver -Cherry Lane Music Publishing
Co., Inc. -ASCAP
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 goodbye.
But the dawn is breaking, it's early morn.
The car is waiting, its blowing its horn,
Already I'm so lonesome I could cry.
So kiss me and smile for me,
Tell me that you'll wait for me,
Hold me like you'll never let me go.
I'm leaving on a jet plane
Don't know when I'll be back again -
Oh Pbasers, 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 image I make, I’ll think of you,
Every shot I take, I’ll take for you,
When I come back, for you I’ll do my thing.
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 you alone,
About the times I won't have to say ...
