                  All my bags are packed,  I'm    ready to go,      I'm    standing here     out-

   side your door.   I      hate to  wake     you    up   to  say      good-  bye.
   blowing his horn, al-    ready    I'm      so     lonesome I        could  cry.

[More Lyrics]

There's so many times I've let you down,

so many times I've played around.

I tell you now that 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.

Now the time has come to leave you,

one more time let me kiss you,

the 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.
