don't know when I'll be back again

 

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 good-bye

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 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

'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 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

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, 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 leavin' on a jet plane

Don't know when I'll be back again

Oh babe, I hate to go

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" - written by John Denver.}

     On You Tube, we can listen to this beautiful-sounding song -- I like to hear the Peter, Paul and Mary recording of it, and also the John Denver one.  

     (Mark Lindsay, a favorite singer of teens and pre-teens, recorded it too -- I think I heard his version on a friend's :45 in 5th or 6th grade, maybe...)

     Then, after familiarizing ourselves with the song (or refreshing our memories) there's a video -- meticulously filmed and masterfully edited -- with the title,

It's funny.

And good.

...Good and funny...
