Carpenters — Bacharach/David Medley

Knowing When to Leave 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 won't ever 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 I need Night after night as I wish for a love that can be Though I'm sure that No one can tell where their wishes and hopes will lead Somehow I feel there is happiness waiting for me When someone Walks in your life you just better be sure it's right 'Cause if he's wrong there's heartaches and tears you must pay Keep both of your Eyes on the door never let it get out of sight Just be prepared when the time has come you run away Sail when the wind starts to blow But like a fool I don't know When to leave Make It Easy On Yourself And make it easy on yourself Make it easy on yourself 'Cause breaking up is so very hard to do (There's) Always Something There to Remind Me If you should find you miss The sweet and tender Love we used to share Love we used to share Just go back to the places Where we used to go And I'll be there Oh how can I forget you When there is always something there to remind me Always something there to remind me I was born to love you And I will never be free You'll always be a part of me When there is always something there to remind me I'll Never Fall In Love Again Don't tell me what it's all about 'Cause I've been there and I'm glad I'm out Out of those chains those chains that bind you That is why I'm here to remind you Here to remind you Here to remind you Here to remind you What do you get when you fall in love? You only get lies and pain and sorrow So for at least until tomorrow I'll never fall in love again I'll never fall in love again Walk On By If you see me walking down the street And I start to cry each time we meet Walk on by, walk on by Make believe That you don't see the tears Just let me grieve In private 'cause each time I see you I break down and cry Walk on by I just can't get over losing you So if I should seem broken and blue Walk on by, walk on by Foolish pride That's all that I have left So let me have The tears and the sadness you gave me When you said goodbye Walk on by Do You Know The Way to San Jose Do you know the way to San Jose? I've been away so long I may go wrong and lose my way Do you know the way to San Jose? I'm going back to find Some peace of mind in San Jose L.A. is a great big freeway Put a hundred down and buy a car In a week, maybe two, they'll make you a star Weeks turn into years How quick they pass And all the stars there never were Are parking cars and pumping gas I've got lots of friends in San Jose Can't wait to get back to San Jose Do you know the way to San Jose?
