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
Well, the dawn is breakin', it's early morn
The taxi is waitin' and he's blowin' his horn
Already I'm so lonesome I could cry

So kiss me and smile for me
Tell me you'll wait for me
Hold me like you'll never let me go

I'm 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 you close your eyes, I'll be on my way
Every place I go I'll think of you
Every song I sing I'll sing for you
When I come back I'll wear you a wedding ring

So kiss me and smile for me
Tell me you'll wait for me
Hold me like you'll never let me go

I'm leavin' on a jet plane
Don't know when I'll be back again
Oh babe, I hate to go
