Verse 1
All my bags are packed, I'm read-y to go, I'm stand-ing here out
side your door, I hate to wake you up to say good-bye. But the
dawn is break-in', it's earl-y morn', the taxi's wait-in', he's
blow-in' his horn. All ready 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'll never let me go. Cause I'm leaving on a jet
Don't know when I'll be back again. Oh babe, I hate to go.
Verse 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'll think of you every song I sing, I'll sing for you.
I come back I'll bring your wedd-ing ring.
Verse 3
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, a-bout the time I won't have to say.
