Leaving on a Jet Plane

by John Denver

all my bags are packed, Im ready to go
Im standin here, outside your door
I hate to wake you up to say goodbye
but the dawn is breakin, its early morn
the taxis waitin, hes blowin his horn
already Im so lonesome I could die

so kiss me and smile for me
tell me that youll wait for me
hold me like youll never let me go
cause Im leavin on a jet plane
dont know when Ill be back again
oh, baby, I hate to go

theres so many times Ive let you down
so many times Ive played around
but Ill tell you now, they dont mean a thing
every place I go Ill think of you
every song I sing Ill sing for you
when I come back Ill wear your wedding ring

so kiss me and smile for me
tell me that youll wait for me
hold me like youll never let me go
cause Im leavin on a jet plane
dont know when Ill be back again
oh, baby, I hate to go

and now the time has come to leave you
one more time, oh, let me kiss you
and close your eyes and Ill be on my way
dream about the days to come
when I wont have to live alone
about the times when I wont have to say

oh, kiss me and smile for me
tell me that youll wait for me
hold me like youll never let me go
cause Im leavin on a jet plane
dont know when Ill be back again
oh, baby, I hate to go
