This is one of my all time favorite acoustic songs. Last year, my ex girlfriend got on a plane to work for three months at a summer camp, and it reminds me of driving home from the airport and thinking of how lonely the three months were going to be.
Leaving On A Jet Plane
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 good-bye.
But the dawn is breaking, it's early morn.
The taxi's waiting, he's blowing 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.
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
But now you know that they don't mean a thing.
Every place I go, I'll think of you,
Every 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'll wait for me.
Hold me like you'll never let me go.
I'm leavin' on a jet plane,
Don't know when I'll be back again,
Oh babe, I hate to go.
Now the time has come to leave you.
One more time, 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 alone,
About the times when 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.
I'm leavin' on a jet plane,
Don't know when I'll be back again,
Oh babe, I hate to go.
I'm leavin' on a jet plane
I'm leavin' on a jet plane
I'm leavin' on a jet plan, I hate to go...
