I could stay awake just to hear you breathing
Watch you smile while you are sleeping
Far away and dreaming
I could spend my life in this sweet surrender
I could stay lost in this moment forever
Well, every moment spent with you
Is a moment I treasure

I don't wanna close my eyes
I don't wanna fall asleep
'Cause I'd miss you, babe
And I don't wanna miss a thing
'Cause even when I dream of you
The sweetest dream will never do
I'd still miss you, babe
And I don't wanna miss a thing

Lying close to you
Feeling your heart beating
And I'm wondering what you're dreaming
Wondering if it's me you're seeing
Then I kiss your eyes and thank God we're together
And I just wanna stay with you
In this moment forever, forever and ever

I don't wanna close my eyes
I don't wanna fall asleep
'Cause I'd miss you, babe
And I don't wanna miss a thing
'Cause even when I dream of you
The sweetest dream will never do
I'd still miss you, babe
And I don't wanna miss a thing

I don't wanna miss one smile
I don't wanna miss one kiss
Well, I just wanna be with you
Right here with you, just like this
I just wanna hold you close
Feel your heart so close to mine
And stay here in this moment
For all the rest of time

Don't wanna close my eyes
Don't wanna fall asleep
'Cause I'd miss you, babe
And I don't wanna miss a thing
'Cause even when I dream of you
The sweetest dream will never do
'Cause I'd still miss you, babe
And I don't wanna miss a thing

I don't wanna close my eyes
I don't wanna fall asleep
'Cause I'd miss you, babe
And I don't wanna miss a thing
'Cause even when I dream of you
The sweetest dream will never do
I'd still miss you, babe
And I don't wanna miss a thing

Don't wanna close my eyes
Don't wanna fall asleep, yeah
I don't wanna miss a thing

Took a look down a westbound road
Right away I made my choice
Headed out to my big two-wheeler
I was tired of my own voice
Took a beat on the northern plains
And just roll that power on

Twelve hours out of Mackennoff City
Stopped at a bar to have a brew
Met a girl, only had a few drinks
And I told her what I decided to do
She looked out the window a long, long moment
And she looked into my eyes
She didn't have to say a word
I knew what she was thinkin'

Roll, roll me away, won't you roll me away tonight
I too am lost
I feel double-crossed
And I'm sick of what's wrong and what's right

We never even said a word
We just walked out and got on that bag
And we rolled
And we rolled clean out of sight

We rolled across the high plains
Deep into the mountains
Felt so good to me
Finally feeling free
Somewhere along the high road
Air began to turn cold
She said she must go home
I had it all along
Oh

Stood alone on a mountaintop
Staring out at the great divine
I could go east I could go west
It was all up to me to decide
Just then I saw a young hawk flying
And my soul began to rise
And pretty soon, my heart was singing

Roll, roll me away, wanna roll me away tonight
Gotta keep rollin', gotta keep ridin'
Keep searchin' till I find what's right

And as the sunset faded
I spoke to the faintest, first starlight
I said next time
Next time, we'll get it right

Roll me away (repeat)

All my bags are packed, I'm ready to go; I'm standing here
outside your door, I'd hate wake you up to say goodbye

But the dawn is breaking this early morn;
my taxi's waiting, he's blowing his horn;
already I'm so lonesome I could die

-CHORUS-
So kiss me and smile for me,
tell me that you'll wait for me,
hold me like you'll never let me go.......
coz I'm leaving on a jet plane,
I dont 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
but tell him 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 comeback
I'll wear your wedding ring

-CHORUS-
So kiss me and smile for me,
tell me that you'll wait for me,
hold me like you'll never let me go.......
coz I'm leaving on a jet plane,
I dont know when I'll be back again;
Oh babe, I hate to go
-musical interlude-

Now the time has come to leave you;
One more time oh let me kiss you,
and close your eyes and I'll be on my way

Dream about the days to come
when I wont have to leave alone,
by the times that I wont have to say.........

-CHORUS-
So kiss me and smile for me,
tell me that you'll wait for me,
hold me like you'll never let me go.......
coz I'm leaving on a jet plane,
I dont know when I'll be back again;
Oh babe, I hate to go

-CHORUS-
coz I'm leaving on a jet plane
leaving on a jet plane(7x)
