all my bags are packed and i&9m ready to go
i&9m standin here outside your door
i hate to wake you up to say goodbye
but the dawn is breakin it&9s early morn
the taxi&9s waitin he&9s blowin his horn
already i&9m so lonesome i could die

so kiss me and smile for me
tell me that you&9ll wait for me
hold me like you&9ll never let me go
cause i&9m leavin on a jet plane
don&9t know if i&9ll be back again
oh babe i hate to go

ther&9s so many times i let you down
so many times i&9ve played around
but i tell you now they don&9t mean a thing
every place i go i&9ll think of you
every song i&9ll sing i&9ll sing for you
and when i come back i&9ll wear your wedding ring

so kiss me and smile for me
tell me that you&9ll wait for me
hold me like you&9ll never let me go
cause i&9m leavin on a jet plane
don&9t know when i&9ll be back again
oh babe i hate to go

now the time has come to leave you
one more time now let me kiss you
close your eyes and i&9ll be on my way
dream about the days to come
when i won&9t have to leave alone
about the times that i won&9t have to say....

oh kiss me and smile for me
tell me that you&9ll wait for me
hold me like you&9ll never let me
cause i&9m leavin on a jet plane
don&9t know when i&9ll be back again
oh babe i hate to go

i&9m leavin on a jet plane
don&9t know when i&9ll be back again
oh babe i hate to go

i&9m leavin on a jet plane
don&9t know when i&9ll be back again
oh babe i hate to go

but i&9m leavin on a jet plane
leavin on a jet plane
leavin on a jet plane
leavin on a jet plane
leavin on a jet plane
leavin on a jet plane
leavin on a jet plane
leavin on a jet plane
leavin on a jet plane
