Lyrics

[Part I: Knowing When to Leave] [Intro] Promises, their kind of promises Can just destroy your life Promises, their kind of promises Take all the joy from life [Verse 1] 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 [Verse 2] Fly while you still have your wings Knowing when to leave Won't ever let you reach the point of no return Fly! Foolish as it seems I still have my dreams [Chorus] So I keep hoping Day after day as I wait for the man I need Night after night As I wish for a love that can be Though I know 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 and never let it get out of sight Just be prepared When the time is come for you to run away [Outro] Sail when the wind starts to blow But like a fool I don't know When to leave [Part II: Promises, Promises] [Verse 3] I don't know how I got the nerve to walk out If I shout, remember I feel free Now I can look at myself and be proud I'm laughing out loud [Verse 4] Oh, promises, promises This is where those promises, promises end I won't pretend that what was wrong can be right Every night I'll sleep now No more lies Things that I promised myself fell apart But I found my heart [Outro] Oh, promises, their kind of promises Can just destroy your life Oh, promises, their kind of promises Take all the joy from life Oh, promises, promises, my kind of promises Can lead to joy and hope and love Yes, love!
