Leaving on a jet plane

All my packs 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
It´s early in the morning
The taxi´s waiting
He´s blown 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
*refrain*
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
*refrain*
Now the time
Has come to leave you
One more time
Let me kiss you
Then close your eyes
And 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
*refrain*
I´m ready to go
