Leaving on a jet plane

Leaving on a jet plane
(John Denver 1966)
Interpretada por: Peter, Paul & Mary

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 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.
I'm leaving on a jet plane,
I 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.
Ev'ry place I go I think of you,
Ev'ry 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.
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 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.
I'm leaving on a jet plane,
I don't know when I'll be back again.
Leaving on a jet plane
I don't know when I'll be back again.
Leaving on a jet plane
I don't know when I'll be back again.
Oh babe, I hate to go.

  1. Demasiada nostalgia Elvira. Hacía tiempo que no escuchaba esta canción/himno que escuché muchas veces en otros momentos, cuando era menos escéptico ante la vida que ahora.

  2. Hola Jesús: A mí me gusta recordar y revivir esos momentos, esa juventud y mirada nueva sobre las cosas.

  3. Pues sí, Elvira. Efectivamente es una gran canción que Sinatra también recuperó para su repertorio. Le encantaba John Denver.

  4. Ya buscaré la versión de Sinatra, Marcos. Pero me encanta ésta, es la versión con la que descubrí esta canción.
