About Leaving on a Jet Plane

"Leaving on a Jet Plane" is a song written by John Denver in 1966 and most famously recorded by Peter, Paul and Mary. The original title of the song was "Babe, I Hate to Go", as featured on his 1966 studio album John Denver Sings, but Denver's then producer Milt Okun convinced him to change the title. Peter, Paul and Mary recorded the song for their 1967 studio album, Album 1700, and Warner Bros.- Seven Arts released it as a single in 1969. It turned out to be Peter, Paul and Mary's biggest (and final) hit, becoming their only No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in the United States. The song also spent three weeks atop the easy listening chart and was used in commercials for United Airlines in the late 1960s and early 1970s. The song also topped the charts in Canada, and reached No. 2 in both the UK Singles Chart and Irish Singles Chart in February 1970. In 1969, John Denver recorded a version of the song for his debut solo album, Rhymes & Reasons, and re-recorded it in 1973 for John Denver's Greatest Hits. His version was featured in the end credits of The Guard. more »

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 breakin' It's early morn The taxi's waitin' He's blowin' 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 leavin' on a jet plane I 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 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 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 I'm leavin' 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 Let me kiss you Then 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  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 leavin' on a jet plane I don't know when I'll be back again Leavin' on a jet plane I don't know when I'll be back again Leavin' on a jet plane I don't know when I'll be back again Oh babe I hate to go
