Leaving on a Jet Plane

A cover of Peter, Paul, and Mary's "Leaving On a Jet Plane". This one took me a long time, since it's easy for the vocals to become pitchy.

LYRICS:

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 taxi's waitin', he's blowin' his horn
Already I'm so lonesome I could cry

(chorus)
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 leavin' on a jet plane
Don't know when I'll be back again
Oooh, babe, I hate to go

There's so many times I've played around
So many times I've let you down
I tell you now that 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 bring your wedding ring

(chorus)

Leaving on a jet plane, don't know when I'll be back again (repeat and fade out)
