All my bags are packed, I’m ready to go
I’m standing her 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 cry

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

There’s so many times, I’ve let you down
So many times I’ve played around
I tell you now, that they don’t mean a
thing
Ev’ry place I go, I’ll think of you
Ev’ry song I’ll 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
I’m leaving on a jetplane
Don’t know when I’ll be back again
Oh babe, I hate to go

Now the time has come, I’m leaving you
Just one more time, let me kiss you
then close your eyes, and I’ll be on my
way
You can dream about the days to come
When I won’t have to leave alone
About the time where I wont 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
I’m leaving on a jetplane
Don’t know when I’ll be back again
Oh babe, I hate to go
