(Leaving On A) Jet Plane - Sonya Spence

All my bags are packed, I’m ready to go

I’m standing here outside your door

I hate to wake you up just to say good-bye

But the dawn is breaking, it’s early morn

The taxi’s waiting;

he’s blowing his horn

Already I’m so lonesome I could cry

Kiss me and smile for me

Darling, tell me that you’ll wait for me

Hold me like you’d never, never let me go

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, boy, they don’t mean a thing

Every place I go I’ll think of you

And every song I sing I’ll sing for you

When I come back

Please let me wear your wedding ring

Kiss me and smile for me

Baby, tell me that you’ll wait for me

Hold me like you’d never, never let me go

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

Just one more time, dear, let me kiss you

And close your eyes, I’ll be on my way

Dream about the days to come

When I won’t have to leave alone

Of the times when I won’t have to say
