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 and it's early morn’, the taxi's waitin' and 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 leavin' 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 tell you now that 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
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 leavin' on a jet plane, 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 now 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 time that I won't have to say, oh
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 leavin' on a jet plane, don't know when I'll be back again, oh, babe, I hate to go
