Leaving On A Jetplane
Coby Grant Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
Tell me that you'll 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
I'm ...
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 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
'Cause I'm leaving on a jet plane
I 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, oh, let me kiss you
And 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 that I won't have to say ...
Oh, kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that you'll wait for me
Hold me like you'll never let me go
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 leaving on a jet plane
I don't know when I'll be back again
Oh, babe, I hate to go
So kiss me ans smile for me
Tell me you will wait for me
Hold me like you'll never let me go.
The song "Leaving on a Jetplane" by Coby Grant is about the heart-wrenching moment of leaving someone you love. The singer is standing outside the door of her lover, ready to leave on a plane, but she hates to wake them up to say goodbye. The dawn is breaking and the taxi is waiting, and the singer is already feeling lonely. The chorus of the song repeats the plea for her lover to kiss her and smile, tell her they'll wait for her, and hold her like they'll never let her go. The singer wishes she didn't have to leave, but knows that she must.
The singer also admits that she has let her lover down and played around before, but promises them that those things don't mean anything to her anymore. Every place she goes and every song she sings reminds her of her lover, and she promises to come back wearing a wedding ring. The second chorus repeats the request for a kiss and a smile, and the song ends with the singer dreaming about the day when she won't have to leave alone.
The lyrics to "Leaving on a Jetplane" capture the bittersweet moment of leaving someone you love. The singer is torn between the excitement of traveling and the pain of saying goodbye. The repeated pleas for a kiss, a smile, and a promise to wait make the song a poignant farewell message.

All my bags are packed, I'm ready to go
I'm fully prepared to leave and I have all my belongings packed
I'm standin' here outside your door
I'm standing outside your door, ready to leave
I hate to wake you up to say goodbye
I don't want to disturb you, but I have to say goodbye
But the dawn is breakin', it's early morn
It's early morning and the sun is starting to rise
The taxi's waitin', he's blowin' his horn
The taxi is waiting for me and the driver is honking the horn to hurry me up
Already I'm so lonesome I could die
I'm already feeling very lonely and sad about leaving
So kiss me and smile for me
Give me one last kiss and smile
Tell me that you'll wait for me
Promise me that you'll wait for me to come back
Hold me like you'll never let me go
Hold me tight and don't let me go
'Cause I'm leaving on a jet plane
I'm departing on a jet plane
I don't know when I'll be back again
I'm not sure when I'll return
Oh, babe, I hate to go
I really don't want to leave
There's so many times I've let you down
I've disappointed you many times in the past
So many times I've played around
I've been unfaithful and played around with other people many times
I'll tell you now, they don't mean a thing
I want to assure you that those actions don't mean anything to me now
Every place I go, I think of you
Wherever I am, I think of you
Every song I sing, I sing for you
Every song I sing, I dedicate to you
When I come back I'll wear your wedding ring
When I come back, I'll commit to you and wear your wedding ring
Now the time has come to leave you
It's time for me to say goodbye to you
One more time, oh, let me kiss you
Let me kiss you one final time
And close your eyes and I'll be on my way
Close your eyes and I'll leave quietly without causing a scene
Dream about the days to come
Think about the future and what's to come
When I won't have to leave alone
When I won't have to leave by myself
About the times that I won't have to say ...
Think about the times when I won't have to leave and say goodbye
Oh, kiss me and smile for me
Give me one last kiss and smile
Tell me that you'll wait for me
Promise me that you'll wait for me to come back
Hold me like you'll never let me go
Hold me tight and don't let me go
So kiss me and smile for me
Give me one last kiss and smile
Tell me that you'll wait for me
Promise me that you'll wait for me to come back
Hold me like you'll never let me go
Hold me tight and don't let me go
'Cause I'm leaving on a jet plane
I'm departing on a jet plane
I don't know when I'll be back again
I'm not sure when I'll return
Oh, babe, I hate to go
I really don't want to leave

I am having a Coby moment, beautifully warm sunshine, tingling essence and Devine glee :)
@timpani7191
There must be a mood called "coby" as every song you do leads me to the calm and quiet areas of my soul. In addition to that there is a huge power of healing in your voice and in your person. Absolutely stunning.
