LEAVING ON A JET PLANE

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 it's early morn, the taxi's waitin' he's blowing his
horn, I'm
ready I'm 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. Cuz 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,
but, darling now, they 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.

So kiss me and smile for me. Tell
me that
you'll wait for me, hold me like you'll never let me go. Cuz 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
and let me kiss you, close our eyes and I'll be 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 kiss me and smile
for me.
Tell me that you'll wait for me. Hold me like you'll never let me go. Cuz I'm leavin' on a jet
plane, I
don't know when I'll be back again. Oh baby, I hate to go...............
