(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
|
