Lyrics

[Verse 1]
All my bags are packed, I'm ready to go
I'm standin' here outside your door
I hate to wake you up to say goodbye
[Verse 2]
But the dawn is breakin' it's early morn
The taxi's waitin' he's blowin' his horn
Already I'm so lonesome I could cry
[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
[Chorus]
I'm leavin' on a jet plane
I don't know when I'll be back again
Oh, babe, I hate to go
[Verse 3]
There's so many times I've let you down
So many times I've played around
I tell you now, they don't mean a thing (They don't mean a thing)
[Verse 4]
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 (I'll wear your 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
[Chorus]
I'm leavin' on a jet plane
I don't know when I'll be back again
Oh, babe, I hate to go
[Verse 5]
Now the time has come to leave you
One more time let me kiss you
Then close your eyes, I'll be on my way
[Verse 6]
Dream about the days to come
When I won't have to leave alone
About the time, I won't have to say (I won't have to say)
[Chorus]
Kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that you'll wait for me
Hold me like you'll never let me go
[Chorus]
I'm leavin' on a jet plane
I don't know when I'll be back again
Leavin' on a jet plane
I don't know when I'll be back again (Leavin' on a jet plane)
[Chorus]
Leavin' on a jet plane (I don't know when I'll be back again)
I don't know when I'll be back again
Oh, babe, I hate to go
