Eddy Arnold

Richard Edward "Eddy" Arnold (May 15, 1918 – May 8, 2008) was an American country music singer who performed for six decades. He was a so-called Nashville sound (country/popular music) innovator of the late 1950s, and scored 147 songs on the Billboard country music charts, second only to George Jones. He sold more than 85 million records. A member of the Grand Ole Opry (beginning 1943) and the Country Music Hall of Fame (beginning 1966), Arnold ranked 22nd on Country Music Television's 2003 list of "The 40 Greatest Men of Country Music." He co-wrote the country and pop standard "You Don't Know Me". more »

Oh 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 morn the taxi's waitin' he's blowing his horn
Already I'm so lonesome I could die
So kiss me and smile for me tell me that you'll wait for me
Hold me like you'll never let me go
Cause I'm leaving 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 that they don't mean a thing
Every place I'll go I'll think of you every song I'll sing I'll sing for you
When I come back I'll wear your wedding ring
So kiss me and smile for me...

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
So kiss me and smile for me...
I hate to go I hate go
