The Secret Is To Know When To Stop

Tom Cochrane


Do you remember the night 
The lights went out 
All along the promenade? 
It started to rain 
My coat your dress got wet 
We laughed til we almost cried 
Your spirit was so contagious 
Our timing was really bad 
You were so outrageous 
How could we hold back? 
The secret is to know when to stop 
The secret is to know when to stop 
The secret is to know when to stop 
...Remembering 
Do you remember the night 
That we ran out 
Out on english bay? 
We went out on the water 
The tow almost pulled us away 
Man right then the sparks would fly 
We'd get into such a mess 
Our timing really stunk back then 
We didn't give a damn 
What they thought I guess 
CHORUS 
Maybe when the skies flew open 
Right then the lies would be broken 
Your eyes they did all the talking 
"Keep your heart open wide" 
Can you remember the trip we took? 
In the malibu to the west coast 
We drove through a rainbow upon rogers pass 
They never thought you'd get that close
