All my bags are packed
Iâ??m ready to go
Iâ??m standinâ?? here outside your door
I hate to wake you up to say goodbye
But the dawn is breakinâ??
Itâ??s early morn
The taxiâ??s waitinâ??
Heâ??s blowinâ?? his horn
Already Iâ??m so lonesome
I could die
So kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that youâ??ll wait for me
Hold me like youâ??ll never let me go
â??Cause Iâ??m leavinâ?? on a jet plane
Donâ??t know when Iâ??ll be back again
Oh babe, I hate to go
Thereâ??s so many times Iâ??ve let you down
So many times Iâ??ve played around
I tell you now, they donâ??t mean a thing
Evâ??ry place I go, Iâ??ll think of you
Evâ??ry song I sing, Iâ??ll sing for you
When I come back, Iâ??ll bring your wedding ring
So kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that youâ??ll wait for me
Hold me like youâ??ll never let me go
â??Cause Iâ??m leavinâ?? on a jet plane
Donâ??t know when Iâ??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
Iâ??ll be on my way
Dream about the days to come
When I wonâ??t have to leave alone
About the times, I wonâ??t have to say
Oh, kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that youâ??ll wait for me
Hold me like youâ??ll never let me go
â??Cause Iâ??m leavinâ?? on a jet plane
Donâ??t know when Iâ??ll be back again
Oh babe, I hate to go
But, Iâ??m leavinâ?? on a jet plane
Donâ??t know when Iâ??ll be back again
Oh babe, I hate to go
