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.

The taxi's waitin', he's blowing his horn,

Already I'm so lonesome I could cry.

So kiss me and smile for me,
G C
Tell me that you'll wait for me,
G C D
Hold me like you'll never let me go.

'Cause I'm leaving on a jet plane,
G C
Don't know when I'll be back again,
G C D
Oh, babe, I hate to go.

There's so many times I've let you down,

I tell you they don't mean a thing.

Every place I go I'll think of you,

Every song I sing I'll sing for you,
G C D
When I come back I'll bring your wedding ring.
