All my bags are packed and i'm ready to go
i'm standin' here outside your door
i hate to wake you up to say goodbye
but the dawn is breaking; it's early morning
the docks is waitin' he's blowin' his horn
i'm ready i'm so lonesome i could die.
Refrain :
So kiss me and smile for me
tell me that you'll wait for me
hold me like you'll never let me go
cause 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 you down
so many times i've played around
and tell you that they don't mean a thing
every place i go, i think of you
every song i sing, i'll sing for you
when i'll come back i'll bring you a golden ring
Refrain
Now the time is come to leave you
one more time i let me kiss you and
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 that i want have to say
Refrain
I'm leaving on a jet-plane
i don't know when i'll be back again
oh babe i hate to go...
I'm leaving on a jet-plane
leaving on a jet-plane ...
