Leaving on a Jet Plane - Peter Shelley

All 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' it's early morn

The taxi's waiting he's blowin' his horn

Already I'm so lonesome I could die

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 leavin' 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 place I go I think of you

Every song I sing I 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 leavin' 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 times I won't have to say

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 leavin' on a jet plane

I don't know when I'll be back again

Oh babe I hate to go

I'm leavin' on a jet plane

I don't know when I'll be back again

Oh babe I hate to go
