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 breaking, its early morn, the taxis waiting, 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 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
|
So many times I played around
|
I tell you now, they dont 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 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
|
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 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...
