All my bags are packed, I`m ready to go
I`m standing here outside the door
I hate to wake you up to say goodbye
But the dawn is breakin`
It`s early morning, the taxi`s 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`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
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
Cause I`m leaving on a jet plane
Don`t know when I`ll be back again
Oh, babe, I hate to go
