Many years ago my wise mother told me, “A clean break is better than a bad tear.” I was in a toxic relationship--holding her with one hand while pushing her away with the other. Finally, I summoned the resolve to break free, reinvent myself, and follow my star to a future better than I ever could have imagined. Thank you, Mom. I miss your wisdom and I miss your voice.
I'm crying listening to this song, this masterpiece by Ms Rita Coolidge....Met this guy a few months ago and I'm head over heels in love with him, but unfortunate he's not...so I've decided to leave while I'm still in love...problem is that I don't think I'll stop loving him...😭😭😭😭
"Too many times I've seen the rose die on the vine. Somebody's heart gets broken usually it's mine." Sounds familiar, right? Life goes on, though! Thank you for such a beautiful tune, one song, this, one day at a time!
I played this song for years, then I met the woman I've searched for all my life. I asked her to marry me and she said yes. It was like Rita's other song.. ..... All Time High. 😊
thanks for sharing the song ... this is one of my fave songs .... i really did enjoy listening the song, while spending around six years in love with my Gf. six years is not short, since we have differences, including religion. but only the song keeps our love alive
it always comes on my mind all over and over again..can't take this out of my imagination..Nice Song..I'de rather leave while I'm Inlove by Rita Coolidge..thank you.
What a defeatist song! My heart has been broken in the past and I almost gave up trying to find someone. Now, I have been married for over 37 years and I don't think that I could possibly love her more. The right person is out there for everyone.
pfretman I will take it under advisement. I am glad for you, truly I am but you really cannot say that. Broken hearts are fragile things and I know people who just cannot do it. They do not believe it.
Yes, they wrote some impressive songs, my favourite being 'You and Me (We wanted it all) which was transformed from a good song into a great song by Sinatra.
I love the lyrics of this song sung by my two favroite artists Rita Coolidge n Dusty Springfield in their own beautiful renditions. (Its best to leave like lalwas.did with the best memmories it really helps u move on
After weeks of not sleeping and worrying about somebody I love not feeling the same towards me anymore, I heard this song last night and realised I have to let go now and stop living on in hope, leave before resentment begins to grow, as much as it kills me to do so.
+Blakey Boo I truly hope you have found happiness in the last two years since you posted. I had to let go while I was still in love; it was painful, but I later found a man whom I love completely and who gives me the love and devotion I need. We are now married and we could not be happier. If I had stayed in the first relationship, my spirit would have died. I hope you have found lasting love, too.
A bittersweet song for those ppl who's hoping and wishing for someone to be loved but it turned out he wasn't nd told you that he can find anytime ,a single one not just like you ..saddest but true
I do believe she wrote this song about her husband Kris Kristoffason. He was an alcoholic at the time and couldn’t love her back so she bowed out with class…🥰🥰🥰🥰
in late July - early August, the weather is always hot that i and my Gf chose to visit the suburb of Jakarta, where the air is crisp, life is simple and the people are not complicated. we took a sip of dark roast coffee in an old heritage building with its soul. the barista served the coffee, and one of the waitress played Rita Coolidge's song, .... I'd rather leave while I'm in love .... in the middle of the song, it started to rain, a little ....
Why do I keep listening to this song? Maybe, because doing so, gathers all my emotions into one gigantic storm that washes away all the frustrations and sadness about Unrequited Love....
What a beautiful voice you have been blessed with Rita. I've loved all your songs over many years. God Bless you ALWAYS Rita 🙏❤️

Thank you, Mom. I miss your wisdom and I miss your voice.
Wisdom is a wonderful thing to have access too even if we don’t have it. Your mother was very wise.
Rita really nailed it with this song. This may be the best bittersweet song ever recorded......
One of the most beautiful songs ever...
I've been listening to this for over 3 hours now!!!!i just love the meaning of it!!😁😍😛😜

Yes you will. You’d be surprised how quickly another guy can take his place.
Same as your situation 😞
A very soothing song for one who had gone through several heartbreaks.
Rita is the best , her
voice is beautiful.

I love this song. The lyrics, the melody....the whole of it!
A great nostalgia both the meaning and the way it was sung! Great song8!
My wife played this all the time before she left me. To me it was just a song, to her it was her future.😢

"Too many times I've seen the rose die on the vine. Somebody's heart gets broken usually it's mine." Sounds familiar, right? Life goes on, though! Thank you for such a beautiful tune, one song, this, one day at a time!
Yea sounds familiar😏😝
"Maravilha de música!!!!Só quem viveu essa época sabe do que estou falando !!!!!Obrigado pela postagem.

..... All Time High. 😊
From my junior year of high school. Still so beautiful! ❤️❤️
A beautiful song, I just love it.
this is a good song, sung perfectly by Rita Coolidge...
thanks for sharing the song ... this is one of my fave songs .... i really did enjoy listening the song, while spending around six years in love with my Gf. six years is not short, since we have differences, including religion. but only the song keeps our love alive

As I said before, this is probably the most beautiful bittersweet song ever. Rita completely nailed this performance.....
I get it now! I will leave you alone! Thank you for the wonderful memories!
It's taken me 2 year's to get it. But I'm getting it now. God it's do hard.
thank you for sharing this beauty music. have not heard this song for along long time. thank you again for sharing.
What a defeatist song! My heart has been broken in the past and I almost gave up trying to find someone. Now, I have been married for over 37 years and I don't think that I could possibly love her more. The right person is out there for everyone.
Geeze, Rita, you and Stevie Wonder could get together and do a duet. " I just called to say, I'M LEAVING"!
pfretman I will take it under advisement. I am glad for you, truly I am but you really cannot say that. Broken hearts are fragile things and I know people who just cannot do it. They do not believe it.
LOLOLOL😆😆😆😆😆
BEAUTIFUL SONG ❤️❤️❤️
this song went to #38 on the pop charts in 1980!!!
Amo ....amo...amo...esta música...até casaria com esta cantora...mesmo com a idade que hoje ela tem...continua linda...formosa e talentosa...
This is a hard song to sing. Try it and see . Rita must have done 100 takes to nail it! Perfect
Particularly for a bloke - so much of it is right across the break. And I think there's something about the key as well.
me either .....I'd rather leave while I'm in love.The best decision .

Written by Peter Allen and Carole Bayer-Sager. They were quite the team. Take a listen to some of their other songs.
Yes, they wrote some impressive songs, my favourite being 'You and Me (We wanted it all) which was transformed from a good song into a great song by Sinatra.
Best lines,good advice from the lyrics.
Perception vs reality, love is renewable, No One has a corner on it's existence.
