Maynard's musical monstrosity - The last great music game

[The Sleeper]

OK, another chance at a cookie.....How does this song tie in to "Leaving On A Jet Plane"?

Because Richie Valens died in a plane crash?

<center>Oh Sherry
Steve Perry

You should've been gone
Knowing how I made you feel
And I should've been gone
After all your words of steel
Oh I must've been a dreamer
And I must've been someone else
And we should've been over

Oh Sherry, our love
Holds on, holds on
Oh Sherry, our love
Holds on, holds on

But I want to let go
You'll go on hurtin' me
You'd be better off alone
If I'm not who you thought I'd be

But you know that there's a fever
Oh that you'll never find nowhere else
Can't you feel it burnin' on and on

(chorus)

But I should've been gone
Long ago, far away
And you should've been gone
Now I know just why you stay

(chorus)

Oh Sherry, our love
Holds on, holds on
