Mudando de som...

Esta musica já teve várias versões, e admito que não ouvi nenhuma das outras versões mas tenho duvidas que pudesse preferir alguma delas em detrimento desta. Nas minhas buscas pela internet descubri que a grande Janis Joplin, o Justin Timberlake ou uma tal de Lisa Loeb já cantaram esta musica em versões diferentes (não sei dizer se a versão original era ou não da Janis). A minha escolha vai para a lindissima versão de Jewel, de Leaving on a jetplane. Como habitual, aí fica a letra da musica para os interessados.



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 waiting he's blowin' his horn
I'm ready I'm so lonesome I could die

refrão:
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 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
Everyplace 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

(refrão)

Now the time has come to leave you
One more time let me kiss you
Then close your eyes and I'll be on my way
Dream about the days to come
When I won't have to leave you alone
About the times that I won't have to say

(refrão)

Oh babe, I hate to go
But, Im leavin on a jet plane
Dont know when Ill be back again
Oh babe, I hate to go
(And I'm) Leaving on a jetplane (repeat)

(Leaving on a jetplane, Jewel)
