The Carpenters Lyrics

Bacharach / David Medley Lyrics

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 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 where their

Wishes and hopes will lead, somehow I feel

There is hapiness waiting for me



When someone walks in your life

You just better be sure it's right

'Cause if he's wrong, there's are 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

Bul 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, easy on yourself

'Cause breaking up si 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

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



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

Oh, I'll never fall in love again

Walk On By

If you see me walkin' down the street

And I start to cry each time we meet

Walk on by, walk on by

Make believe you don't see the tears

Just let me grief 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 that you gave me

When you said good-bye

Walk on by, 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 place of mind in San Jose

L.A. is a great big freeway

Put a hundred down a by 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?
