Leaving On a Jet Plane

All my bags are packed and 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 now, it's early morning

The taxi's waiting, he's blowing his horn

Already I'm so lonesome I could cry

So kiss me and smile for me

And tell me that you'll wait for me

And hold me like you'll never let me go

(Never ever gonna let you 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'll tell you now that they don't mean a thing

And 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

So kiss me and smile for me

And tell me that you'll wait for me

And hold me like you'll never let me go

(Never ever gonna let you go)

I'm leaving on a jet plane

Don't know when I'll be back again

Oh, babe, I hate to go

And now the time has come to leave you

One more time just let me kiss you

And close your eyes and I'll be on my way

Then I dream about the days to come

When I won't have to be alone

About the time when I won't have to say

So, kiss me and smile for me

And tell me that you'll wait for me

And hold me like you'll never let me go

(Never ever gonna let you go)

'Cause I'm leaving on a jet plane

Don't know when I'll be back again

Oh, babe, I hate to go, oh

Yes, I'm leaving on a jet plane

Don't know when I'll be back again

Oh, babe, I miss you so

I'll never let you go

Every place now I think of you

Every song now I sing for you

I'm leaving now, babe but I'll be back again
