"Knowing When To Leave" lyrics

"Knowing When To Leave"
(originally by Jill O'Hara)

Go while the going is good
Knowing when to leave
May be the smartest thing that anyone can learn
Go!
I'm afraid my heart
Isn't very smart

So I keep hoping
Day after day as I wait for the man I need
Night after night
As I wait for a love that can be
I'm sure that
No one can tell
Where their wishes and hopes will lead
Somehow I feel
There is happiness just waiting there for me

Fly while you still have your wings
Knowing when to leave
Won't ever let you reach the point of no return
Fly!
Foolish as it seems
I still have my dreams

When someone walks in your life
You just better be sure he's right
'Cause if he's wrong
There are heartaches and tears you must pay
Keep both your
Eyes on the door, never let it get out of sight
Just be prepared
When the time has come for you to run away

Sail when the wind starts to blow
But like a fool I don't know
When to leave
When to leave
When to leave
