Leaving On A Jetplane
Die Blumenkinder Lyrics

All my bags are packed
I have everything I need and I'm ready to leave

I'm ready to go
I'm mentally and emotionally prepared to leave

I'm standin' here outside your door
I'm right here, at your doorstep, about to leave

I hate to wake you up to say goodbye
I don't want to disturb you, but I have to say farewell

But the dawn is breakin'
It's early in the morning and the sun is rising

It's early morn
It's still very early in the day

The taxi's waitin'
The taxi is here and ready to take me to the airport

He's blowin' his horn
The taxi driver is honking his horn, signaling me to hurry up

Already I'm so lonesome I could die
I already feel so lonely and sad, it's unbearable

So kiss me and smile for me
Give me a kiss and a smile to remember you by

(smile for me)

Tell me that you'll wait for me
Promise me that you'll be here when I return

Hold me like you'll never let me go (Hey baby, don't let him go)
Embrace me tightly, as if you don't want me to leave

'Cause I'm leaving on a jetplane
I'm departing on a plane

Don't know when I'll be back again (back again)
I don't know when I'll return

Oh babe, I hate to go (Hey baby, don't let him go)
I feel bad about leaving and I don't want you to let me go

There's so many times I've let you down
I've disappointed you on numerous occasions

There's so many times I've played around (played around)
I've fooled around and acted irresponsibly

I tell you now, they don't mean a thing (don't mean a thing)
None of those actions mattered, and you mean more to me than anything else

Ev'ry place I go, I'll think of you (think of you)
No matter where I am, I'll be thinking of you

Ev'ry song I sing, I'll sing for you
I'll sing every song as if I'm singing it to you

When I come back, I'll bring your wedding ring
When I return, I'll be ready to finally commit to you and marry you

Now the time has come to leave you
It's time for me to depart

One more time
One last moment together

Let me kiss you
Give me one final kiss

Then close your eyes
Close your eyes and remember this moment

I'll be on my way
I have to leave now, my plane is waiting

Dream about the days to come
Think about the future and what it could hold for us

When I won't have to leave alone
When we'll finally be together and I won't have to leave you behind

About the times, I won't have to say
About the times when I won't have to say goodbye

So kiss me and smile for me
One last kiss and smile before I go

Don't know when I'll be back again
I don't know when I'll return

Leavin' on a jetplane
I'm leaving on a plane

Oh babe, I hate to go
I feel bad about leaving

So kiss me and smile for me
One last kiss and smile to remember me by

Tell me that you'll wait for me
Promise me that you'll be here when I return

Hold me like you'll never let me go (Hey baby, don't let him go)
Embrace me tightly, as if you don't want me to leave

Don't know when I'll be back again
I don't know when I'll return

Leavin' on a jetplane
I'm leaving on a plane

Don't know when I'll be back again
I don't know when I'll return

Oh babe, I hate to go (Hey baby, don't let him go)
I feel bad about leaving and I don't want you to let me go
