It's an old song. For the first time, it, the old song,
makes my tears fall down, non-stop.
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 morning
The taxi is waiting, he is blowing his horn
Already I'm so lonesome, I could cry
There is 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 think of you
Every song I sing I sing for you
When I come back I wear your wedding ring
So kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that you wait for me
Hold me like you never let me 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
I won't have to leave alone
And I won't have to say
I'm leaving on a jetplane
I don't know when I'll be back again
Oh babe, I hate to go
