Promises Promises - Knowing When to Leave Lyrics

2010 Broadway revival
Promises, Promises the Musical - Knowing When to Leave Lyrics

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 your 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 I meet
Night after night as I wish for a love that can be

Though I'm sure that
No one can tell where their wishes and hopes will lead
Somehow I feel there is happiness just waiting there 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 pay

Keep both of your
Eyes on the door, never let it get out of sight
Just be prepared when the time has come for you to run away

Sail when the wind starts to blow
But like a fool, I don't know
When to leave

So I keep hoping
Day after day as I wait for the man I meet
Night after night as I wish for a love that can be

Though I'm sure that
No one can tell where their wishes and hopes will lead
Somehow I feel there is happiness just waiting there 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 pay

Keep both of your
Eyes on the door, never let it get out of sight
Just be prepared when the time has come for you to run away

Sail when the wind starts to blow
But like a fool, I don't know
When to leave

When to leave
When to leave
When to leave
