Leaving on a Jet Plane

This song just brought back memories for me.... Fariz played this song 2 years back at the Tapestry Gig at Far East....HE PLAYED THE ROCK version.... It was AWESOME!!!! The whole gang was there... Me, Mun, Sab, Linda, Herfah, Freddy, Mizra, Fariz, Engku, Farehan & Shamil.... I just had a nice time hanging with them all... How time flies... And I remembered how half of OI's population came down to catch Fariz's gig.... I mean, the unexpected faces... And definately the FLYING stick..... AND not forgetting how Fariz made it looked as though we girls were all over him.. I mean, guys, u just LOVE the idea of being surrounded by girls... And not knowing that we all were his SCHOOLMATE....

And how I was part of the school production team to do the ' We will Remember' Concert... How my class made this wonderful drama/skit production that NO ONE could ever forget... And definately how we managed to convert our Audi into a FANTABULOUSLY ROCKING gig venue.... Loud music, dark & enclosed...... And we even made this SMASHING MOSH-PIT... And I think all the guys did body surfing... It was one hell of a SMACKING ROCKING concert.. I doubt that if there's any chance this year anyone could do anything like that again..... That concert was special in ALOT of ways...
Anyway, those memories are a keepsake....

Leaving On A Jetplane
Janis Joplin

Ah-ah-ah-ahhh
Ah-ah-ah-ahhh

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
Already I'm so lonesome I could die

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
'cause I'm leaving on a Jet Plane
I don't know when I'll be back again
Oh babe I hate to go

Ah-ah-ah-ahhh

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

CHORUS
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

CHORUS
I'm leaving on a Jet Plane
Don't know when I'll be back again
Oh babe I hate to go
