Leaving On A Jet Plane... Oh Babe, I Hate To Go


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
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
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 wear your wedding ring.

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

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
Don't know when i'll be back again
Oh babe, I hate to go!!
