I hate to wake you up to say goodbye

Nada a ver, mas lembrei muito dessa música dia desses.
Ela me chamou a atenção da primeira vez por causa da frase aí no título. E era outra versão, interpretada pela Jewel.
Mmm... É isso.
Ah, sim, quem a compôs é John Denver, que, como você deve saber, morreu em um acidente aéreo. A música foi criada em um aeroporto, enquanto ele esperava um voo atrasado. Pode parecer mórbido, mas é apenas uma coincidência. Por que será que a gente encana tanto com coincidências?

Aí vai.



Leaving on a jet plane
John Denver (no video, com Cass Elliot, do Mamas and the Papas)

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 leaving on a jet plane
I don't know when I'll be back again
Oh, babe, I hate to go

I'm ...

There'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 thing

Every place I go, I think of you
Every song I sing, I sing for you
When I come back I'll wear 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 leaving on a jet plane
I 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, oh, let me kiss you
And close your eyes and I'll be on my way

Dream 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 go

And I'm leaving on a jet plane
I don't know when I'll be back again
Oh, babe, I hate to go

But I'm leaving on a jet plane
