Reading Comprehension

Leaving on a Jet Plane by: John

Denver

All my bags are packed I’m ready to go

I’m standing here outside your door
I have to wake you up to say goodbye
But the dawn is breaking it’s early morn
The taxi’s waiting he’s blowing his horn
Already I’m so lonesome I could cry

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

Don’t know when I’ll be back again
Oh babe’ I hate to go
