Lyrics

When You Gotta Go/in The Wee Small Hours Of The Morning

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

When you gotta go, you gotta go

And so although you'd like to stay a little while

You've gotta show a little style, and exit smiling

Goodbye to all that

Just reach for your had

And go on your own sweet way

You know in your heart

Although you are parting

You'll live to love another day

When you gotta fly, you gotta fly

And though your sky tomorrow may not be as bright

Be glad you had a spot of light

To spend a while in

So, pocket your pride

Though deep down inside

The tears that you're crying

Ain't easy to hide

When you gotta go, you've just gotta say good-bye.

In the wee, small hours of the morning

While the whole wide world is fast asleep

You lie awake, and you think about the guy

And never, ever think of counting sheep

When your lonely heart has learned it's lesson

You'd be his if only he would call

In the wee, small hours of the morning

That's the time you miss him most of all

So just walk away

And don't turn your head

What more can you say now

That hasn't been said

When you've gotta go

When you've gotta go

Oh, when you've gotta go

You've just gotta say
