Knowing When to Leave Lyrics


Knowing when to leave
Go while the going is good
Knowing when to leave
May be the smartest thing anyone can learn, goI'm afraid my heart isn't very smart
Fly while you still have your wings
Knowing when to leave
Will never let you reach the point of no return, flyFoolish 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 I'm sure that no one can tell when a wish is a hope
Somehow I feel there is happiness waiting for meWhen someone walks in your life, you'd just better be sure he's right
'Cause if he's wrong, there's, 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 awaySail when the wind starts to blow
But like a fool I don't know when to leave

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
