Leaving on a Jetplane

Artist - John Denver



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 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`ll 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 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 leaving
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 that
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 I`m leaving
on a jet plane
don`t know when
I`ll be back again
Oh, babe, I hate to go
And I`m leaving
on a jet plane
don`t know when
I`ll be back again
Oh, babe, I hate to go
