Leaving on a Jet Plane
American Soldier says,
I’ll post when I can. Until then, here are some lyrics that are near and dear to me. It’s amazing how meaningful songs can be in different seasons of your life.
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 goodbyeBut the dawn is breakin’, it’s early morn
The taxi’s waitin’, he’s blowin’ his horn
Already I’m so lonesome I could dieSo 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 goThere’s so many times I’ve let you down
So many times I’ve played around
I’ll tell you now, they don’t mean a thingEvery place I go, I think of you
Every song I sing, I sing for you
When I come back I’ll wear your wedding ringSo 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 goNow the time has come to leave you
One more time, oh, let me kiss you
And close your eyes and I’ll be on my wayDream about the days to come
When I won’t have to leave alone
About the times that I won’t have to say …Oh, 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 goAnd I’m leaving on a jet plane
I don’t know when I’ll be back again
Oh, babe, I hate to goBut I’m leaving on a jet plane
(Ah ah ah ah)
Leaving on a jet plane
(Ah ah ah ah)
Leaving on a jet plane
(Ah ah ah ah)
Leaving on a jet plane
(Ah ah ah ah)
Leaving on a jet plane
(Ah ah ah ah)
Leaving on a jet plane
(Ah ah ah ah)
Leaving on a jet plane
(Ah ah ah ah)
Leaving on a jet plane
(Ah ah ah ah)
(Leaving) On a jet plane

Don’t know what feeling is more over powering the pride or the uncertainity.
I am just an email way if you need it.
Anything you and the Mrs need just ask.
AS,
Be careful over there!
Just remember that alot of us Americans are praying for you over here! Thank you on behalf of myself and our country!! May God Bless You!!

KEEP YOUR HELMET ON!!
Patti

AS,
Be safe friend. If you or Mrs. AS need anything I too will do what In can to help. Take care and Thank you both for all you have sacrificed. God Bless you both and your family.
Ditto on the offer of help. Just let everybody know what you need. Tthank you for what you’re doing.
Actually the song was written and originally sang by John Denver who was thrilled when Peter, Paul and Mary later published it.
Have a safe trip back, thank you for all you have done.
stay safe soldier. we’re praying for you.
You have ruined that song for forever. Why did you want to make me cry? (lol) I will be praying for you everday. If you need an uplift, here is a nice site found: Loving God Anonymously. I like it. Just thought I’d share.
(Just in case your site doesn’t take html: http://lovinggodanonymously.blogspot.com)
Ditto to what ~K said…i’m only an email away if ever y’all need ANYTHING.
Godspeed, Soldier.
First time posting a comment here. Saw you through Froggy Ruminations.
Be safe! Thank you for all that you do for our country. I think of you guys all the time. Please submit any guys or gals you know who could use a little support to Soldiersangels.org. We’ll get them adopted, they’ll get some letters and packages, and they will see how much people appreciate their work on our behalf.
Ralph Peters has a great article in the NY Post today, about our military personnel.

Sorry, I see your links now to groups that support soldiers. There are some great ones listed.
Be well.
That song always makes me tear up. It fits so many situations, and it fits yours perfectly.
Cheers to ya, AS.. and again, as others have said before me:
1. be safe
2. be safe
3. if you need anything… we’re an email away
4. be safe
5. keep writing updates as you can
6. did i mention, be safe?
I would love to know what you, as a soldier, think of this link and the mission it espouses:

Thanks for your service. Keep safe. Know you are greatly appreciated, in deeds and in words.
God bless you and the rest of the soldiers. Ill be in Iraq no latter than November, and yes the lyrics are close to my heart as they should be to yours. May God be with you, and you family. Come home soon…
Prayers from Canada are sent out to you. May God Bless! Keep your helmet on. Don’t forget: Soldier’s Creed
