Leavin' on a Jet Plane Songtext
von The Whiffenpoofs

All my bags are packed, I′m ready to go
I'm standing here outside your door
I hate to wake you up to say goodbye
But the dawn is breaking, it′s early morn
The taxi's waiting, he's blowing 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
Ah, babe, I hate to go
There's so many times I've let you down
So many times I′ve fooled around
I tell you girl now they don′t mean a thing
(They don't mean a thing)
Everywhere I go I′ll think of you
Every song I sing I'll sing for you
When I come home 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 jetplane
Don′t know when I'll be back again
Leavin′ on a jetplane
Don't know when I′ll be back again
Leavin' on a jet plane
Don′t know when I'll be back again
Back again
Now the time has come to leave you
One more time let me kiss you
Just one more time then I'll be on my way
Just dream about the days to come
When I won′t have to leave and roam
About the times when I won′t have to say
Just 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 jetplane
Don′t know when I'll be back again
Leavin' on a jetplane
Oh, babe I hate to go
