All my bags are packedI'm ready to go

I'm standing here outside your door

I hate to wake you up to say goodbye.

But the dawn is breakin'

It's early morn

The taxi's waitin'

He's blowin' his horn

AlreadyI'm so lonesome I could die.



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

OhbabeI hate to go.



There's so many times I've let you down

So many times I've played around

But I tell you nowthey 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.



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

OhbabeI 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:



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

OhbabeI hate to go.



I'm leaving on a jet plane

Don't know when I'll be back again

OhbabeI hate to go.
