I'm standin' here outside your door
And close your eyes and I'll be on my way
Oh, kiss me and smile for me
Leaving on a jet plane
When I won't have to leave alone
Hold me like you'll never let me go
Now the time has come to leave you
I don't know when I'll be back again
'Cause I'm leaving on a jet plane
One more time, oh, let me kiss you
Leaving on a jet plane
Leaving on a jet plane
Oh, babe, I hate to go
Oh, babe, I hate to go
Hold me like you'll never let me go
'Cause I'm leaving on a jet plane
The taxi's waitin', he's blowin' his horn
I'll tell you now, they don't mean a thing
But the dawn is breakin', it's early morn
Leaving on a jet plane
Already I'm so lonesome I could die
Every place I go, I think of you
Leaving on a jet plane
But I'm leaving on a jet plane
About the times that I won't have to say
Tell me that you'll wait for me
Tell me that you'll wait for me
Dream about the days to come
I don't know when I'll be back again
Every song I sing, I sing for you
All my bags are packed, I'm ready to go
There's so many times, I've let you down
Oh, babe, I hate to go
So kiss me and smile for me
I hate to wake you up to say goodbye
And I'm leaving on a jet plane
Hold me like you'll never let me go
I don't know when I'll be back again
Tell me that you'll wait for me
I don't know when I'll be back again
'Cause I'm leaving on a jet plane
Leaving on a jet plane
So many times, I've played around
Oh, babe, I hate to go
I'm
When I come back, I'll wear your wedding ring
So kiss me and smile for me
Leaving on a jet plane
