Leaving on a Jet Plane is one of the English language's great emotional love songs, originally sung by the late John Denver. Practice your listening and phrasal verb skills by completing this gap-fill! I suggest listening once first, then begin completing the gap-fill while listening another two times. You do not need to listen to the whole song, just the first couple of verses.
When you have finished click on Show Full Lyrics (below) and sing along!
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 blowing 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 Don't know when I'll be back again Oh babe, I hate to go
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 Every place I go, I'll think of you Every song I sing, I'll sing for you When I come back, I'll bring 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 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 let me kiss you Close your eyes I'll be on my way Dream about the days to come When I won't have to leave alone About the times, I won't have to say
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 baby, I hate to go
Cause I'm leaving on a jet plane Don't know when I'll be back again Oh babe, I hate to go
All my bags are I'm ready to go
I'm standing here
I hate to to say goodbye
But the it's early morn
The taxi's waiting he's his horn
Already I'm so I could die
So kiss me and me
Tell me that you'll me
Hold me like you'll never
Cause I'm leaving on a jet plane, Don't know when I'll be ,Oh babe, I hate to go
Such a beautiful song. I made a few fool mistakes: "at side of your door" instead of "outside your door", "done" instead of "dawn", "in for" instead of "wait for". I think it's time for me to see an otolaryngologist to have my ears checked. Thank you, Chris.
The song is very beautiful, the lyric is great!
When I hear the song, I hear:
"Tell me that you'll wait for me
Hold me like you'll never let me go"
I think "you're" replace for "you'll".

Do you think like me?
No Misprint
No misprint. You'll wait for me is a contraction of 'you will'. The sentence 'You will wait for me' is correct.
To use 'you're' the sentence must be 'you're going to wait for me.'
Thanks,
Chris
