1980 Medley (Sing/Knowing When To Leave/Make It Easy On Yourself/Someday/We’ve Only Just Begun) Lyrics by Carpenters

The Essential Collection:1965-1997

0

Sing, sing a song
Make it simple to last your whole life long
Don't worry that it's not good enough
For anyone else to hear
Just sing, sing a song
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 you still have your wings
Knowing when to leave will never 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
When a wish is a hope
Somehow I feel there is happiness just waiting there for me
When someone walks in your life
You'd just better be sure he's right
'Cause if he's wrong there are heartaches and tears you must face
Keep both of your eyes on the door and 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
If you really love her
And there's nothing I can do
Don't try to spare my feelings
Just tell me that we're through
And make it easy on yourself
Make it easy on yourself
'Cause breaking up is so very hard to do
If the way I hold you
Can't compare with her caress (caress)
No words of consolation
Will make me miss you less
My darling, if this is goodbye
I just know I'm gonna cry
So run to her
Before you start crying too
And make it easy on yourself
Well, make it easy on yourself (easy on yourself)
'Cause breaking up is so very hard to do
Someday, rested from hours of sleeping
We'll stay safely behind what we're keeping
You'll seem warmer than I had remembered you
Lying so close, I'll be able to feel you breathe
I could never leave
One day, when I am able to love you
I'll come back from wherever I've been to
Please say that you'll be waiting when someday comes
Promise me this and a kiss, to keep what you are
Always close to me
Someday
Please say that you'll be waiting when someday comes
To keep what you are
Always close to me
Sharing horizons that are new for us
Watchin' the signs along the way
Talkin' it over, just the two of us
Workin' together day to day
Together
When the evening comes, we smile
So much of life ahead
We'll find a place where there's room to grow
And yes, we've just begun
