Knowing when to leave Go while the going is good Knowing when to leave may be the smartest thing anyone can learn. Go! Im afraid my heart isnt very smart. Fly while your still have your wings Knowing when to leave will never let you reach the point of no return. Fly! Foolish as it seems, I still have my dreams So I keep hoping, day after day, as I wait for the man, And night after night as I wish for a love that can be Though Im sure that no one can tell when a wish is a hope, Somehow I feel there is happiness waiting for me. When someone walks in your life, youd just better be sure hes right. 'cause if hes wrong theres are heartaches and tears you must face. Keep both of your eyes on the door and never let it get out of sight Just be prepared when the time comes and you went away Sail when the wind starts to blow But like a fool I dont know when to leave.
