Leaving on a Jetplane

Leaving on a Jetplane - Pierre Rossouw

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 oh

Don't know when I'll be back again

On a jet plane

Oh babe

On a jet plane

I hate to go

On a jet plane

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

Ev'ry place I go I'll think of you

Ev'ry song I sing I'll sing for you

When I come back you

I'll wear my 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

On a jet plane

I don't know when I'll be back again

On a jet plane

Oh babe

On a jet plane

I hate to go

On a jet plane

I'm leavin' on a jet plane

On a jet plane

I don't know when I'll be back again

On a jet plane

Oh babe

On a jet plane

I hate to go

On a jet plane

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

Oh kiss me and smile for me

Tell me that you'll wait for me

Hold me like you'll never let me go

'Cos I'm leavin' on a jet plane

On a jet plane

I don't know when I'll be back again

On a jet plane

Oh babe

On a jet plane

I hate to go

On a jet plane

I'm leavin' on a jet plane

On a jet plane

I don't know when I'll be back again

On a jet plane

Oh babe

On a jet plane

I hate to go

On a jet plane
