Leaving on a jet plane

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 leavin’ on a jet plane

Don’t know when I’ll be back again

Oh baby, 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 […]

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 […]
