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 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 cry

So kiss me and smile for me

And 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 let you down

And so many times I played around

But I tell you now: They don't mean a thing

Every place I go, I'll think of you

And every song I sing, I'll sing for you

When I come back, I'll wear 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

And close your eyes, I'll be on my way

And 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

And tell me that you'll wait for me

And 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

'Cause I'm leaving on a jet plane

Don't know when I'll be back again

Oh babe, I hate to go
