Leavin' On A Jet Plane Songtext
von John Denver

All my bags are packed I′m ready to go
I'm standin′ here outside your door
I hate to wake you up to say goodbye
But the dawn is breakin' it's early morn
The taxi′s waitin′ he's blowin′ his horn
Already I'm so lonesome I could die

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

There's so many times I′ve let you down
So many times I've played around
I tell you now, they don′t mean a thing
Every place I go, I'll think of you
Every song I sing, I′ll sing for you
When I come back, I'll bring your wedding ring


So kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that you'll wait for me
Hold me like you′ll never let me go
′Cause I'm leavin′ 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
Then close your eyes I'll be on my way
Dream about the days to come
When I won′t have to leave alone
About the times, I won't have to say

Kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that you'll wait for me
Hold me like you′ll never let me go
′Cause I'm leavin′ on a jet plane
Don't know when I′ll be back again
Oh baby, I hate to go

'Cause I′m leavin' on a jet plane
Don't know when I′ll be back again
Oh baby, I hate to go
