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