I’d Rather Leave While I’m In Love Rita Coolidge

[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
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
You and I can't say goodbye

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
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
You and I can't say goodbye
