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