All my bags are packed, I'm ready to go
Standing here outside your door
Hate to wake you up to say goodbye
The dawn is breaking, it's early morn
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

So many times I've let you down
So many times I've played around
I'll 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 to 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 kiss and let me leave you
Hold me close, then I'll be on my way
And dream about the days to come
When I won't have to leave you alone
About the time I won't have to say

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
