Knowing When To Leave

Dionne Warwick · Other Songs - Dionne Warwick

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



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

So I keep hoping, day after day, as I wait for the man I need

Night after night and I wish for a love that can be



Though I'm sure that

No one can tell where a wishes and hopes will lead

Time, how I feel there is happiness just waiting there for me



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 face



Keep both of 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
