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, its early morn, the taxis waiting, he's blowin' 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 let you down

So many times I played around

I tell you now, they dont 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 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

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...



So kiss me and smile for me

Tell me that you'll wait for me, hold me like you 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...
