(peter allen / carole bayer-sager)
Id rather leave while Im in love
While I still believe the meaning of the word
Ill keep my dreams and just pretend
That you and I were never meant to end
Too many times Ive seen the rose die on the vine
Somebodys heart gets broken
And usually its mine
I dont wanna take the chance of being hurt again
And you and I cant say goodbye
So, if you wake and find me gone
Oh, babe, just carry on
You see, I need my fantasy
I still believe its best to leave while Im in love, ooh
Too many times Ive seen the rose die on the vine
Somebodys heart gets broken, yeah
And usually its mine
I dont wanna take the chance of being hurt again
And you and i, we cant say goodbye
So, if you wake and find me gone
Hey, babe, just carry on
You see, I need my fantasy
I still believe its best to leave while Im in love, oh, oh
Id rather leave while Im in love
