Jet Plane
Sonia Spence Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

All my bags are packed I'm ready
To go
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
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 leavin' on a jet plane
Don't know when I'll be back again
Oh baby, I hate to go
There's so many times I've let you
Down
So many times I've played around
I 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
When I come back, I'll bring 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 leavin' on a jet plane
Don't know when I'll be back again
Oh babe, I hate to go
Guitar Solo
Now the time has come to leave
You
One more time let me kiss you
Close your eyes I'll be on my way
Dream about the days to come
When I won't have to leave alone
About the times, 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
Cause I'm leavin' on a jet plane
Don't know when I'll be back again
Oh baby, I hate to go
Cause I'm leavin' on a jet plane




Don't know when I'll be back again
Oh baby, I hate to go

To depart from this place


I'm standin' here outside your Door
I am currently outside your front entrance


I hate to wake you up to say Goodbye
I dislike the idea of waking you up just to bid farewell


But the dawn is breakin' it's early Morn
The sun is beginning to rise and it's early in the morning


The taxi's waitin' he's blowin' his Horn
The taxi that I booked is already waiting outside and honking its horn


Already I'm so lonesome I could Die
I am already very lonely to the point that it's unbearable


So kiss me and smile for me
Please give me a farewell kiss and smile

Oh darling, I dislike leaving you behind


There's so many times I've let you Down
I have disappointed you many times in the past


So many times I've played around
I have been unfaithful to you on numerous occasions


I tell you now, they don't mean a Thing
I want you to know that those actions don't matter anymore

When I'll have you with me and I won't have to go alone


About the times, I won't have to Say
About the future moments when I will not have to say goodbye like this
