Leaving, On a Jet Plane - "Greatest Hits" Version

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 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 leaving on a jet plane

Don't know when I'll be back again

Oh, babe, I hate to go

There's so many times I've let you down

So many times I've played around

And 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 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 days to come

When I won't have to leave alone

About the times 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

'Cause I'm leaving on a jet plane

Don't know when I'll be back again

Oh, babe, I hate to go

But I'm leaving on a jet plane

Don't know when I'll be back again

Oh, babe, I hate to go
