John Denver: Leaving on a Jet Plane

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

Its early morn'

The taxis 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

Dont 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

Ev'ry place I go, I'll think of you

Ev'ry 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

Then 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

Oh, kiss me and smile for me

Tell me that you'll wait for me

Hold me like you'll never let me go

'cause Im leavin on a jet plane

Don't know when I'll be back again

Oh babe, I hate to go

But, I'm leavin' on a jet plane

Don't know when I'll be back again

Oh babe, I hate to go
