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 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 I'm leaving on a jetplane, don't know when I'll be back again, oh babe I'd hate to go I'd hate to go... There 're so many times I've let you down so many times I've played around but now you know that 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 weddingring 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 leaving on a jetplane don't know when I'll be back again Oh babe, I hate to go I hate to go... Now the time has come to leave you one more time, 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 times when I don't have to say...: repeat chorus I'm leaving on a jetplane, I'm leaving on a jetplane, I'm leaving on a jetplane, I', leaving on a jetplane.......(fade)
