Leavin's Not The Only Way To Go
Roger Miller · Other Songs - Roger Miller
Are the nights not long enough
Does a tear of hesitation
Fall on everything you touch
Well, it might just be a lesson
For the hasty heart to know
Maybe leavin's not the only way to go
Maybe lay and let your feelings grow accustomed to the dark
And by morning's light, you might solve the problems of the heart
And it all might be a lesson for the hasty heart to know
Maybe leavin's not the only way to go
People reach new understandings all the time
They take a second look, maybe change their minds
People reach new understandings everyday
Tell me not to reach and I'll go away
Do the mornin's still come early
Are the nights not long enough
Does a tear of hesitation
Fall on everything you touch
Well, it might just be a lesson
For the hasty heart to know
Maybe leavin's not the only way to go
