Carmen McRae - I’d Rather Leave While I’m In Love lyrics

I’d rather leave while I’m in love While I still believe the meaning of the word I keep my dreams and just pretend That you and I are never meant to end Too many times I’ve seen The rose die on the vine Somebody’s heart gets broken Usually it’s mine 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 Baby just carry on 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 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 Baby carry on You see I need my fantasy I still believe it’s best to leave while I’m in love I’d rather leave while I’m in love
