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 

You're leaving too soon
