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