Leaving On A Jet Plane Lyrics
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
This early morning
The taxi's waiting, he's blowing his horn
I'm ready, I'm so lonesome I could die
So kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that you'd wait for me
Hold me like you'll never let me go
'Cause I'm leaving on a jet plane
I don't know when I'll be back again
Oh babe, I hate to go
There so many times I've let you down
So many times I've played around
But I am now, they don't mean a thing
Every place I go I think of you
Ever song I sing I sing for you
When I come back I'll wear your wedding ring
So kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that you'd wait for me
Hold me like you'll never let me go
'Cause I'm leaving on a jet plane
I don't know when I'll be back again
Oh babe, I hate to go
Well now the time has come to leave your
One more time now let me kiss you
Close your eyes and I'll be on my way
Dream about the days to come
When I won't have to leave alote
About the times that I won't have to say
Oh kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that you'd wait for me
Hold me like you'll never let me go
'Cause I'm leaving on a jet plane
I don't know when I'll be back again
Oh babe, I hate to go
But I'm leaving on a jet plane
Don't know when I'll be back again
Oh babe, I hate to go
But I'm leaving on a jet plane
Leaving on a jet plane
I love this more than the original just because it has that modern feel to it.
i'm telling you.. i know that this song is about leaving .. but to me it means so much more.. for some reason tonite it hit me.. this is my suicide song.. how i feel when i'm at that point.. saying goodbye.. bcuz i'm leaving, leaving forever.. wow.. i don't know how to really explain it.. its amazing..
Go CANADIAN singer Chantal Kreviazuk
This song always makes me cry
It reminds me of my dad.. he's never at home.. he's always on bussines trips and he leaves us for months..
He always wakes us up to say good bye :/
Way better than the original. What a song!
This song is awesome, I hate listening to it though because its sad..My boyfriend is moving and..well i'm just going to miss him so much so this song just kinda helps me to relate which i like.
I never heard this song, but I know that Eve 6 and Me First and the Gimme Gimmes do a pretty good song of covering this song. But the original is always good.
this song is beautiful! i have a ballet solo to it and i just wanna cry everytime i get on stage to perfrom it :)
OK! here is my story! I have always liked the song, the original version...when I was in high school my boyfriend and I used to run the dance show productions at the school and a dancer danced to this version of the song...he picked up on the fact that I liked it. So, last year when he was preparing to leave and live in another country for 2 years, he wrote out the lyrics to this and gave it to me the night we said goodbye. I plan to play it at my wedding. (as all our friends laugh at what goofs we are)
i absolutely love this song so much. I heard it first when i was like 7 cause me and my sis shared a room and i would ask her to sing to me at night and she would sometimes sing me this song. Then i hadn't heard it in a while and i was watching Armageddon (the best movie ever and the sadest) and I heard it on there and i was like i love this song so i went and downloaded it!!!
