living on a jet plane Lyrics

♪ ♬ 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, it's early morn'. ♪ ♬
The taxi's waiting, he's blowing his horn.
Already 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.
I'm leavin' on a jet plane, ♪ ♬
Don't know when I'll be back again,
Oh babe, I hate to go (hate to go).
♪ ♬ There's so many times I've let you down.
So many times I've played around
But now you know that they don't mean a thing.
Every place I go, I'll think of you, ♪ ♬
Every song I sing, I sing for you.
When I come back, I'll wear your wedding ring.
CHORUS ♪ ♬
INSTRUMENTAL ♪ ♬
♪ ♬ Now the time has come to leave you.
One more time, oh let me kiss you.
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 leavin' on a jet plane,
Don't know when I'll be back again,
♪ ♬ Oh babe, I hate to go.
I'm leavin' on a jet plane
I'm leavin' on a jet plane ♪ ♬
I'm leavin' on a jet plan, I hate to go...
