All my packs 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 in the morning
The taxi's waiting
He's blown 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

*refrain*
Cause I'm leaving 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 bring your 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

*refrain*

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

So kiss me
And smile for me
Tell me that
You'll wait for me
Hold me like you'll never let me go

*refrain*
