I`d Rather Leave While I`m in Love — текст песни (Carole Bayer Sager)

(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
