LEAVING ON A JET PLANE

Oh, 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 – I hate to say goodbye.

But the dawn is breaking, and it’s early morn’.

The taxi is waiting and he’s blowing his horn.

Already I’m so lonesome, I could die – 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

I don’t know when I’ll be back again,

Oh, baby, 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 that they don’t mean a thing – oh, no, 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 wedding ring - I’ll wear 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.

I don’t know when I’ll be back again.

Oh, baby, I hate to go.

 

Now the time has come to leave you.

One more time, now let me kiss you.

Close your eyes and I´ll be on my way – I´m going on my way.

Dream about the days to come.

When I won’t have to leave alone.

About the times that I won’t have to say – oh, no, I´ll never say.

 

Oh, 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.

I don’t know when I’ll be back again.

Oh, baby, I hate to go.

 

I’m leaving on a jet plane,

I don’t know when I’ll be back again.

Leaving on a jet plane,

I don’t know when I’ll be back again.

Oh, baby, I hate to go!
