Lyrics
All my bags are packed, and ready to go
I’m standin’ here, outside you’re door,
I hate to wake you up, to say goodbye
But the dawn is breakin’, it’s early morn
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 …
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’ve let you down
So many times, I’ve played around
I tell you now, they don’t mean a thing ….
Every place I’ll go, I 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’ll never let me go …
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 you’re 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…
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,
don’t know when I’ll be back again
Oh babe, I hate to go ….
I’m leaving on a jet plane,
don’t know when I’ll be back again
Oh babe…. I hate to go….
