ooh



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 good bye

but the dawn is breaking

its early morn

the taxis waiting

he's blowing his horn

i'm ready i'm so lonesome i could die



*CHORUS

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

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



*CHORUS*



and now the time has come to leave you

one more time

oh 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 when i won't have to say...



*CHORUS*



i'm leaving on a jet plane

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 x 8

on a jet plane
