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 good-bye
But the dawn is breaking, it's early morn
The taxis waiting, hes blowing 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
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
Every place I go I'll think of you
Every song I sing I sing for you
When I come back I'll wear 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 Im leaving on a jet plane
I 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
And close your eyes and I'll be on my way
Dream about the days to come
When I don't have to leave alone
About the times that I wont have to say
Oh kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that you'll wait for me
Hold me like you'll never let me go
Cause Im leaving on a jet plane
I don't know when I'll be back again
Oh babe, I hate to go
Cause I'm leaving on a jet plane
I don't know when I'll be back again
Oh babe, I hate to go
I'm leaving on a jet plane
I dont know when I'll be back again
Oh babe, I hate to go
I'm leaving on a jet plane
Leaving on a jet plane
Leaving on a jet plane
Leaving on a jet plane
