Returning on a jet plane...

(Paul Harvey used to give "...the rest of the story" on the radio.  The same radio played songs that gave us a glimpse into song character's lives but are never revisited! Even worse when the singer dies!  I hated that!  One of the songs I always felt needed an ending was...John Denver's: "Leaving on a jet plane."  So, I present...Returning on a jet plane.  Dedicated to the late John Denver.

--‐------------------

Packed my bags again...
I'm finally coming home...
I sang the songs they wanted...
'til...I felt so all alone...

I've played the superstar...
...at least in my own mind.
I've made fists of dollars
But now I just must unwind...

Yes, returning on a jet plane...
At 5am things will never...be the same again!
Bags packed, baby...
I'm coming home to you!

I'd like to lie and say it was all for you.
Or for us - but you know that's untrue.
I'm finally coming home - to you again...
Returning...on a jet plane!

I played around.  It's part of the game.
'Cause a lonely guy on the road...
will go insane!  I'm sorry.  That's true.
And this jet plane's gonna bring me back home to you.

Yes, returning on a jet plane...
At 5am things will never...be the same again!
Bags packed, baby...
I'm coming home to you!

This flight...will arrive at...dawn...
Just stay sleeping...
I'll be home before too...long.
I'll grab a taxi and bring your wedding ring.

I'm so lonesome without you.
Gonna hold you...as I've never done before...
There'll be tears of joy...
When I finally get to our door.

Yes, returning on a jet plane...
At 5am things will never...be the same again!
Bags packed, baby...
I'm coming home to you!

You waited patiently...
For this very day...
I know it hurt you...
that I chose to go away.

Everyplace I went...
and every song I sang...
gave me no happiness...
just sorrow and pain!

Yes, returning on a jet plane...
At 5am things will never...be the same again!
Bags packed, baby...
I'm coming home to you!

I'm returning on a jet plane...
as I once left you...i'm coming back again...
To fulfill our dreams...
Just as I...promised you!

Yes, returning on a jet plane...
At 5am things will never...be the same again!
Bags packed, baby...
I'm coming home to you!

Returning...on a jet plane...
Returning...on a jet plane...
(fading...)
Returning...on a jet plane....
