Carole Bayer Sager - I'd Rather Leave While I'm in Love lyrics

rate me

(Carole Bayer Sager/Peter Allen)

I'd rather leave while I'm in love

While I still believe

The meaning of the word

I'll keep my dreams and just pretend

That you and I were never meant to end

Too many times I've seen the rose die on the vine

And somebody's heart gets broken

Usually it's mine

I don't want to take the chance of being hurt again

And you and I

Can't say goodbye

So if you wake and find me gone

Hey babe, just carry on

You see I need my fantasy

I still believe it's best to leave while I'm in love

Too many times I've seen the rose die on the vine

Somebody's heart gets broken, usually it's mine

I don't want to take the chance of being hurt again

And you and I can't say goodbye

So if you wake and find me gone

Hey babe, just carry on

You see I need my fantasy

I still believe

It's best to leave while I'm in love

I'd rather leave while I'm in love
