He’s Leaving

Now I understand why my boyfriend hates the song “Leaving on a Jet Plane”. I used to teased him with this song because we sang this song when we were 4^th year High School and he was the one who played the guitar. And he hates it! I don’t know why.

My boyfriend will go to a strange place …. because we believe this is the only temporary solution of his problem (sorry I cannot elaborate it further). He will leave full of uncertainties….. the place – will he ever adopt the kind of lifestyle in Manila? Will he find the solution to his problem? Will he return?… “I don’t know when he’ll be back again”.
 
We both hate this situation… but we are left with no other option… Hopefully, everything will turn okay… I’m praying for that.

Leaving on a Jet Plane

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 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 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 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 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

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

Cause I'm leavin' on a jet plane
Don't know when I'll be back again
Oh babe, I hate to go
