I'd Rather Leave While I'm In Love

Rita Coolidge

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 pretendThat you and I are never gonna end

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
Oh baby carry 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
Oh baby carry on you see I need my
Fantasy I still believe it′s best to
Leave while I′m in love I still believe
It's best to leave while I′m in love
