Leaving on a Jet Plane

[Verse 1]

All my bags are packed and I'm ready to go

I'm standing here outside the door

I hate to wake you up to say goodbye

But the dawn is breaking, it's early morn'

Taxi's waiting, he's blowing his horn

Already I'm so lonesome I could die

[Chorus]

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

[Verse 2]

So many times I've let you down

There's so many times I fucked around

I tell you now, they don't mean a thing

'Cause 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

[Chorus]

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

[Verse 3]

Now the time has come to leave you

One more time to let me kiss you

Close your eyes and I'll be on my way

Dream about the days to come

When I won't have to leave alone

About the times that I won't have to say

[Chorus]

Oh, kiss me and smile for me

Tell me that you'll wait for me

Hold me like you'll never let me, 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
