John Denver Lyrics

Leaving On A Jet Plane Lyrics

All my bags are packed and ready to go
I'm standin' 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 waitin' he's blown his horn
Already I'm so lonesome I could die

PRE-CHORUS
So kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that you'll wait for me
Hold me like you'll never let me go

CHORUS
Cause I'm leavin' 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 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'll think of you
Every song I sing I'll sing for you
When I come back I'll bring your wedding ring

PRE-CHORUS

CHORUS

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

PRE-CHORUS

CHORUS 2x
