by John Denver (extra lyrics by Peter Paul & Mary)
All my bags are packed, I’m 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 blowin’ 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,
’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.
Ev’ry place I go, I’ll think of you.
Ev’ry song I sing, I’ll sing for you.
When I come back, I’ll wear your wedding ring
So kiss me..
Now the time has come to leave you.
One more time let me kiss you.
Then 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…
