All my bags are packed 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 breakin' it's early morn The taxi's waitin' 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 Cause I'm leavin' on a jet plane 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'll think of you Every song I sing, I'll sing for you When I come back, I'll bring 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 Cause I'm leavin' on a jet plane 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 Close your eyes 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 Cause I'm leavin' on a jet plane Don't know when I'll be back again Oh babe, I hate to go
Cause I'm leavin' on a jet plane Don't know when I'll be back again Oh babe, I hate to go
...
It's five o'clock this mornin' and the sun is on the rise There's frosting on the window pane and sorrow in your eyes The stars are fading quietly; the night is nearly gone And so you turn away from me and tears begin to come
CHORUS And it's goodbye again I'm sorry to be leaving you Goodbye again Cause if you didn't know It's goodbye again And I wish you could tell me Why do we always fight when I have to go
It seems a shame to leave you now, the days are soft and warm I long to lay me down again and hold you in my arms I long to kiss the tears away and give you back your smile But other voices beckon me and for a little while
CHORUS
BRIDGE
Have to go and see some friends of mine, some that I don't know And some who aren't familiar with my name It's something that's inside of me; not hard to understand It's just anyone who'll listen to me sing if your hours are empty now, who am i too blame You think if I were always here our love would be the same As it is the time we have is worth the time alone And lying by your side the greatest peace I've ever known
CHORUS
