Im leaving on a jet plane...Janis

This song was first released by John Denver.
And then..
The greatest white female rock singer of the 1960s, Janis Joplin tried her version of this classic. Though women's liberation had just sowed its seed in those times, her song showed some glimpses of the future. The future which had women taking the lead in everyman's domain. Although she was never appreciated during her time,which ususally is the case seen with futurists, i believe she made her own mark in the rock domain, originally meant only for men.
Thus, i feel obligated to add this to my blog.

Lyrics:
All my bags are packed
Im ready to go
Im standin here outside your door
I hate to wake you up to say goodbye
But the dawn is breakin
Its early morn
The taxis waitin
Hes blowin his horn
Already Im so lonesome
I could die
So kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that youll wait for me
Hold me like youll never let me go
cause Im leavin on a jet plane
Dont know when Ill be back again
Oh babe, I hate to go
Theres so many times Ive let you down
So many times Ive played around
I tell you now, they dont mean a thing
Every place I go, Ill think of you
Every song I sing, Ill sing for you
When I come back, Ill bring your wedding ring
So kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that youll wait for me
Hold me like youll never let me go
cause Im leavin on a jet plane
Dont know when Ill be back again
Oh babe, I hate to go
Now the time has come to leave you
One more time
Let me kiss you
Then close your eyes
Ill be on my way
Dream about the days to come
When I wont have to leave alone
About the times, I wont have to say
Oh, kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that youll wait for me
Hold me like youll never let me go
cause Im leavin on a jet plane
Dont know when Ill be back again
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..

A tidal wave in your heart,
A light fragrance on your shoulder,
True style is what some notice
And what others remember.
Because you are your thoughts
And your emotions,
Your self-belief
And your memories...
Through the journey of life,
You will always have yours
And I will have mine...
~J.S.

Trust a man for what he is worth,
Not for what he seems.
Even if his outside is deterring,
It is his inside that gleams.
May he be near, or he be far,
Distance does not play a role.
All that matters in a friend,
Is if he cares for your soul.
All people hear, but few do listen.
All people look, but few do see.
Take your time to count your blessings,
For friends are few and far between.
Life is a road that leads to happiness,
But it’s not smooth at all.
Only a true friend helps you up,
When you trip on sorrow and fall.
I don’t need money
and I don’t need fame.
I want a life that’s not a sham,
I want to be with those around me,
With those who love me for who I am.
~J.S.
