All my bags ar

ready to go,
             
I'm standing h

ur door,
             
I hate to wake

 goodbye.
             
But the dawn i

              
s breaking, it

    
's early morn,
             
The taxi's wai

             
tin', he's blo

wing his horn,
             
Already I'm so

Hold me like y

t me go.
             
'Cause I'm lea

There's so man

So many times

of you,
             
Every song I s

Oh, babe, I ha
