Leaving on a Jet Plane
Lyrics
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 good-bye
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
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
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
I'm leaving on a jet plane, don't know when I'll be back again
Oh, babe, I hate to go
