I am leaving on a jetplane

By John Denver
(Please refer to my other blog for updates on my travels)

All my bags are packed,
I'm ready to go,
I'm standing here,
Outside your door,
I hate to wake you up and say Good Bye.
But the dawn is breaking, is early morn'
The taxi is waiting, blowing his horn.
Already I'm so lonesome I could die.

So kiss me and smile for me,
Tell me that you wait for me,
Hold me, like you never let me go.
Cause I'm leaving on a jet plane,
Don't know when I'll be back again,
Oh Babe I hate to go.

So many times, I let you down,
So many times, I played around,
but tell you, they don't mean a thing.
Every place I go, I'll thing of you,
Every song I sing, I sing for you.
When I come back, I'll bring your wedding ring.

So kiss me and smile for me,
Tell me that you wait for me,
Hold me, like you never let me go.
Cause I'm leaving on a jet plane,
Don't know when I'll be back again,
Oh Babe I hate to go.

Now the time has come to leave you,
One more time let me kiss you,
Close your eyes, I'll be on my way.
Dream about the day will come,
When I won't have you leave alone,
About the times, I’ll won't have to stay.

So kiss me and smile for me,
Tell me that you wait for me,
Hold me, like you never let me go.
Cause I'm leaving on a jet plane,
Don't know when I'll be back again,
Oh Babe I hate to go.

Cause I'm leaving on a jet plane,
Don't know when I'll be back again,
Oh Babe I hate to go.
