I'll go while I go and it's [F#m] good knowing when to leave can [F#m] be the smartest thing that ever
[Am] _ _
_ go.
[G] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ Afraid [C] my heart _
_ [G] _ is very [F] _ smart.
_ _ _ _ _ [G] Fly while you [Am] still have your wings [F#m] knowing when to leave will let you reach the point
of return. Fly. _
[G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Ooh, wish as it [C] _ seems I could still have my [F] _ _ _ _ _
_ [A#] dreams.
So I [Dm] keep hoping [D] day after day as I [A] wait for the man I may [D] not have to _ [G] _ _ _ _ [D] meet.
_ [G] Though I'm sure [D] that no one can [G] tell their wishes and hopes [D] from me.
Somehow I feel [G] their madness just waiting [A#] there for me.
_ _ When someone [D] walks in your life [A] you just better be sure he's [D] right.
Cause if _ [G] he makes you tears you [D] must pay. _
_ [G] Keep all of [D] your eyes _
_ [G] _ [D] on his side.
Must be prepared.
[G] _ _ _ _ [A#] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [G] Say, when the [F#m] wind starts to blow. _ _ _
_ [G] _ Like a fool [F#m] I don't _ [F] know where _ _ _ _ _
_ [C] _ to _ _ _ _
_ [G#] _ _ _ leave. _ _
[C#] Only.
I said when to leave.
_ [G#] _ I can't _ _ leave.
_ [C#] I.
_ _ _ [D#] When.
_ _ _ To.
[G#] _ _
Leave. _ _ _ _ _ _ _

[G] _ _ _ _ Hey Dusty.
That was just great.
Really loved it.
Thanks very much Burton.
Hey, I love the show.
The music came from [Am] all of your music right?
Your show, Promises Promises.
[G] Promises Promises.
Thanks Dusty.
You happen to remember when we first met?
Oh you bet.
It was about five years ago now.
That's right.
Dusty just had a whole string of hit records and she was looking for a new song to record.
A lot of people right had sent you songs.
Oh yes, so many people sent me songs and they were all very nice songs but I just couldn't seem to find the right song to record at that time.
So I thought well I wonder if I'd go off to America and see what Burt had.
And that's what I [D] did.
And the only thing was I only had one day off to do it.
Right.
Absolutely.
Cause we were [N] in a rush.
Yeah, you flew over to New York, a seven hour trip.
Uh huh.
And you took a cab through the traffic from the airport to Midtown Manhattan, a nine hour trip.
Yeah.
You met, I showed you a few songs and you found your next hit, right?
Wrong.
_ _ Wasn't that what you did? No.
Actually we looked through dozens of songs but none of them were quite right for [C] Dusty.
But six months later I did write a song for you, didn't I?
[E] That's right you did and it was called Wishing and Hoping.
And you loved it.
And you knew right away it was going to be [D] a big hit, right?
Wrong. Wrong.
It took you another six months to convince me to record it but I did eventually because
I was very glad about that because it turned out to be a very _ _ _
[G] _ _ _ good song.
We're going to sing it now, right?
[G] _ Wrong.
_ Wrong again.
You're going to sing, I'm going to sing my line.
A house is not a home, you people.
Yeah, I'm going to start it.
You're going to start it?
Yeah.
Trust a woman to have the [N] absolute best life. _
