All my bags are packed, I´m ready to go
I´m standin´ 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
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 leavin´ 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 Im leavin´ 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

Oh, 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 leavin´ on a jet plane
Don´t know when I´ll be back again
Oh babe, I hate to go

But I´m leavin´ on a jet plane
Don´t know when I´ll be back again
Oh babe, I hate to go.
