Leaving On A Jet Plane (John Denver)


1. 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
Now the dawn is breakin', it's an early morn
The taxi's waiting, he's blowin' his horn
Already I'm so lonesome I could cry.

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

2. There's so many times I've played around
So many times I've let you down
I tell you now that they don't mean a thing
Every place I go, I think of you
Each song I sing, I sing for you
When I come home, I'll wear my wedding ring


John Denver's version:

1. 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 breakin', 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.
I'm leavin' on a jet plane
Don't know when I'll be back again
Oh, babe, I hate to go.

2. 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 think of you
Every song I sing, I sing for you
When I come back, I'll bring your wedding ring.

3. Now the time has come to leave you
One more time let me kiss you
Then 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, I won't have to say
