Leaving On A Jet Plane

Chantal Kreviazuk

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

~o~

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

~o~

So kiss me and smile for me

Tell me that you'll wait for me

Hold me like you'll never let me go

~o~

'Cause I'm leaving on a jet plane

I don't know when I'll be back again

Oh, babe, I hate to go

~o~

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

~o~

Every place I go, I think of you

Every song I sing, I sing for you

When I come back I'll wear your wedding ring

~o~

So kiss me and smile for me

Tell me that you'll wait for me

Hold me like you'll never let me go

~o~

'Cause I'm leaving on a jet plane

I don't know when I'll be back again

Oh, babe, I hate to go

~o~

Now the time has come to leave you

One more time, oh, let me kiss you

And close your eyes and I'll be on my way

~o~

Dream about the days to come

When I won't have to leave alone

About the times that I won't have to say ...

~o~

Oh, kiss me and smile for me

Tell me that you'll wait for me

Hold me like you'll never let me go

~o~

'Cause I'm leaving on a jet plane

I don't know when I'll be back again

Oh, babe, I hate to go

~o~

And I'm leaving on a jet plane

I don't know when I'll be back again

Oh, babe, I hate to go

~o~

But I'm leaving on a jet plane
