LEAVING ON A JET PLANE
John Denver 
(J. Denver) 

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 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 tell you now 
They don't mean a thing 

Every place I go 
I 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 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 to let me kiss you 
Then close your eyes 
And I'll be on my way 

Dream about the days to come 
When I won't have 
To leave you alone 
About the time 
I won't have to say 

(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 

I'm leavin' on a jet plane 
Don't know when I'll be back again 
Oh babe, I hate to go
