Lyrics Dionne Warwick

Dionne Warwick

Knowing When To Leave

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 will never 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

And night after night

As I wish for a love

That can be

Though I'm sure that no one can tell

When a wish is a hope

Somehow I feel there is happiness

Waiting for me

When someone walks in your life

You'd 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 and never

Let it get out of sight

Just be prepared

When the time comes

And you went away

Sail when the wind starts to blow

But like a fool

I don't know when to leave
