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 breaking, it's early morn

The taxi's waiting, he's blowing his horn

Already I'm so lonesome I could cry

So kiss me and smile for me

Tell me that you'll wait for me

Hold me like you'll never let me go

I'm leaving on a jet plane

I 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

(Don't mean a thing)

Every place I go, I think of you

Every song I sing, I sing for you

When I come back, I'll wear your wedding ring

(I'll wear your 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

I'm leaving on a jet plane

I don't know when I'll be back again

Oh babe, I hate to go

Now the time had 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 time, I won't have to say

(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

I'm leaving on a jet plane

I don't know when I'll be back again

Leaving on a jet plane

(Leaving on a jet plane)

I don't know when I'll be back again

Leaving on a jet plane

(I don't know when I'll be back again)

I don't know when I'll be back again

Oh babe, I hate to go
