Lyrics

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 breakin', it's early morn' Taxi's waiting, he's blowin' his horn Already, I'm so lonesome I could cry 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 a-leavin' 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 (they don't mean a thing) Every place I go, I think of you Every song I sing, I sing for you When I come back, I'll wear your wedding ring (I'll wear your 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 a-leavin' 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 Then close your eyes, I'll be on my way Dream about the days to come When I won't have to leave alone About the time I won't have to say (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 a-leavin' on a jet plane I don't know when I'll be back again Leavin' on a jet plane (Leavin' on a jet plane) I don't know when I'll be back again (I don't know when I'll be back again) leavin' on a jet plane I don't know when I'll be back again Oh, babe, I hate to go
