Leaving on a jet plane

All my bags are packed and I'm ready to go,

I'm standing here outside your door,

I hate to wake you up to say good-bye.

But the dawn is breaking, it's early mornin',

The taxi is waiting and is blowing his horn,

I'm ready, 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 never let me go.

Cause I'm leaving on a jet plane, 

I 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,

And I'll tell you that they don't mean a thing.

Every place I go I think of you,

Every song I sing I sing for you,

When I'll come back, I'll wear 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,

I don't know when I'll be back again,

Oh babe, I hate to go.

And now the time has come to leave you,

One more time let me kiss you,

And close your eyes and I'll be on my way.

Dream about the days to come when I want after leave alone,

By the times that I won't have to say.


Oh 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,

I don't know when I'll be back again,

Oh babe, I hate to go.

But I'm leaving on a jet plane,

I don't know when I'll be back again,

Oh babe, I hate to go.

But I'm leaving on a jet plane,

Leaving on a jet plane, (x 7)On a jet plane.
