I'd Rather Leave While I'm In Love Lyrics - 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 pretend 

That 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 good-bye 

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 good-bye 

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
