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 morning,
  The taxi's waiting,
  He's blowing his horn,
  Already I'm so lonesome I could die
  
  Chorus:
  So kiss me and smile for me,
  tell me that you'll wait for me,
  hold me like you never let me go,
  'cause I'm leaving on a jetplane,
  I don't know when I'll be back again,
  Oh, babe, I hate to go
  
  There were 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'll come back I'll bring your wedding ring
  
  Repeat Chorus
  
  
  Cause I'm leaving ..
