Leaving on a jetplane



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, his 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

I'm leaving on a jetplane,

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

oh babe I hate to go

I hate to go...



There 're so many times I've let you down

so many times I've played around

but now you know 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 wear your weddingring



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 jetplane

don't know when I'll be back again

Oh babe, I hate to go

I hate to go...



Now the time has come to leave you

one more time, 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 when I don't have to say...:



repeat chorus
