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 its 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

cuz i'm leaving on a jetplane
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 and i'll be on my way

dream about the days to come
when i won't have to leave alone
about the times when i won't have to say

oh kiss me and smile for me
tell me that you'll wait for me
hold me like you'll never let me go

cuz i'm leaving on a jetplane
don't know when i'll be back again
oh babe,
i hate to go
