Leaving On a Jet Plane Lyrics
[Verse 1]
All my bags are packed, I'm ready to go
Standing here outside your door
I hate to wake you up to say goodbye
But the dawn is breaking, it's early morn
The taxi's waiting and he's blowin' his horn
Already I'm so lonesome I could die
[Chorus]
So kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that you'll wait for me
Hold me like you'll never let me go
'Cause I'm leaving on a jet plane
Don't know when I'll be back again
Oh babe, I hate to go
[Verse 2]
There's so many times I've let you down
So many times I've played around
I tell you now, they didn'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 bring you a wedding ring
[Chorus]
So kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that you'll wait for me
Hold me like you'll never let me go
Because I'm leaving on a jet plane
Don't know when I'll be back again
Leaving on a jet plane
Don't know when I'll be back again
Oh babe, I hate to go
All my bags are packed, I'm ready to go
Standing here outside your door
I hate to wake you up to say goodbye
But the dawn is breaking, it's early morn
The taxi's waiting and he's blowin' his horn
Already I'm so lonesome I could die
[Chorus]
So kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that you'll wait for me
Hold me like you'll never let me go
'Cause I'm leaving on a jet plane
Don't know when I'll be back again
Oh babe, I hate to go
[Verse 2]
There's so many times I've let you down
So many times I've played around
I tell you now, they didn'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 bring you a wedding ring
[Chorus]
So kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that you'll wait for me
Hold me like you'll never let me go
Because I'm leaving on a jet plane
Don't know when I'll be back again
Leaving on a jet plane
Don't know when I'll be back again
Oh babe, I hate to go
