Go while the going is good
Knowing when to leave 
May be the smartest thing 
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
And night after night 
As I wish for a love 
That can be though 
I'm sure that no one can tell 
When a wish is a hope
Somehow I feel there is happiness 
Waiting for me

When someone walks in your life 
You'd just better 
Be sure he's right
'Cause if he's wrong 
There's are heartaches 
And tears you must face
Keep both of your eyes 
On the door and never 
Let it get out of sight
Just be prepared 
When the time comes 
And you went away

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