From the Broadway Musical "Promises, Promises"
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
--------------------------------
BRIDGE
So I keep hoping day after day
As I wait for the one I need
Night after night
As I wish for a love that can be
Though I'm sure that no one can tell
Where their wishes and hopes will lead
Somehow I know
There is happiness just waiting there for me
When someone walks in your life
You'd just better be sure they're right
'Cause if they're wrong
There are heartaches and tears you must pay
Keep both of your eyes on the door
Never let them 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.
