Oh my bags are packed I'm ready to go I'm standing here outside your door
Hate to wake you up to say goodbye
Oh the dawn is breaking and 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 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
I tell you now they don't mean a thing
Every song I'll sing I'll sing for you every place I'll go I'll think of you
When I come home I'll wear your weddin' ring
So kiss me and smile for me...

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
Think about the days to come when I won't have to leave alone
About the times yiu won't hear me say
Kiss me and smile for me...
I'm leaving on a jet plane I don't know when I'll be back again oh babe I hate to go
