All my bags are packed, and 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' and he's blowin' the 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
'Cause I'm leavin' on a jet plane
Don't know when I'll be back again
Oh, babe, I hate to go
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
Everywhere I go, I'll think of you
Every song I sing I'll sing for you
When I get back, I'll bring your wedding ring
CHORUS
Now the time has come for me to leave you
One more time, let me kiss you
Turn around and I'll be on my way
Think about the times to come
When I won't have to leave alone
About the times that I won't have to say
CHORUS
