Lyric Leaving on a Jet Plane

(John Denver)

Oh, my bags are packed I m ready to go
I m standing here outside your door
I hate to wake you up to say goodbye
But the dawn is breakin and it s early morn
The taxi s waitin 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 me down
So many times I ve played around
I tell you now that they don t mean a thing
Cause every place I ll go I ll think of you
Every song I ll sing I ll sing for you
When I come back I ll wear 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
I m leaving on a jet plane I 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 close your eyes and I ll be on my way
Dream about the days to come
When I won t have to leave 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
I m leaving on a jet plane I don t know when I ll be back again
Oh babe, I hate to go...
