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 waiting
he's blowing his horn
already 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
'Cause I'm leaving
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
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 bring 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
'Cause I'm leaving
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
let me kiss you
then close your eyes
I'll be on my way
Dream about
the days to come
when I won't have
to leave alone
about the times
I won't have to say
Oh kiss me
and smile for me
tell me that you'll
wait for me
and 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
I'm leaving
on a jet plane
don't know when I'll
be back again
oh baby
I hate to go
