Tapescript

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, it's early morn,

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

Already I'm so lonesome I could cry.

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 leaving 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'll 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;
