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
