Leaving on a Jet Plane

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

There are so many times, I've let you down
So many times, I've played around
I tell you now that 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 weddin' 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
The time has come to leave you alone

Let me kiss you so close your eyes
And honey, 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 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
