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