Píseň: You're Leaving Too Soon

Interpret:
Barry Manilow
Album:
Nice Boy Like Me
You're leavin' too soon
You oughta try believin' just for a day or two
You're trying to be wise
and that's a foolish thing to do
close the door you're leaving too soon


You'll never learn to fly unless you learn to fall
You'll never know the answers
'till you've heard the call
you can't turn your back until you face it all
take my word you're leavin' too soon


You're leavin' too soon
You oughta try believin' just for a day or two
You're trying to be wise
and that's a foolish thing to do
close the door you're leaving too soon


babe you shouldn't go until
you know just what I mean
now, ¡°happy ever after¡±, I have never seen
but still we might come closer than we've ever been
come over here you're leaving too soon


you're leaving too soon...
