    THERE'S ONLY ONE THING LEFT AS WE ARE ABOUT TO COME HOME AGAIN TO THAT WONDERFUL PLACE CALLED MAKOWSKY'S.

    A PLACE THAT MANY OF US THOUGHT WE WOULD NEVER AGAIN SEE IN OUR LIFETIME'S?

    A PLACE WHERE WE BONDED TOGETHER AND LEARNED THE MEANING OF FRIENDSHIP.

    A PLACE WHERE WE LEARNED MANY OF LIFE'S HARD LESSONS THAT HAVE TAKEN US TO WHERE WE ARE TODAY.

    AND A VERY SPECIAL THANK YOU TO ROB, LARRY, MITCH, JUDY & STEVE FOR SHOWING US, THAT YES VIRGINIA, WE CAN GO HOME AGAIN.

    NOW ALL ALTOGETHER SING...


    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 Im leavin on a jet plane

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

    Theres 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 Makowsky'S 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 leavin 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
    Then 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

    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 leavin on a jet plane
    Dont know when I'll be back again
    Oh babe, I hate to go

    But, I'm leavin on a jet plane
    Don't know when I'll be back again
    Oh babe, I hate to go

    And Alison I don't think you will ever forget me, now will you? I'm sorry I put you on, but you were too beautiful to tell you I wasn't who you thought I was. You would have fit right in with our Class of '62.

    I too enjoyed meeting you and now consider you among my Makowsky friends.
