Next Time I Love

It's over now

You walk away

After goodbye there's nothing left to say

How could I miss by so much?

Did I finally lose my touch?

Or simply lose my way?

I guess it's true,

You live and learn,

Take one last look and watch

Your bridges burn

When did love leave me behind?

Did I lose what you seldom find?

Or simply lose my turn?

Next time I love

Won't be too soon

Next time I fall, I'll fall beneath a kinder moon

And should that moon turn cold

And fade away

I'll feel the chill

But still I'll stay

Next time I love

Next time I dance

Next time I fall, will these old feelings

Stand a chance?

This lonely heart and I, we'll both survive

For I'll be whole and so alive

Next time I love a little prayer

Some compromise

A little time to grow a little wise

And should he ask me for more

Will foolishly close the door

Or simply close my eyes

Next time I love

Won't be too soon

Next time I fall, I'll fall beneath

A kinder moon

And should that moon turn

Cold and fade away

I will hold on and find a way

Next time I love

Next time I dance

Next time I fall will these old feelings

Stand a chance

This lonely heart and I - we'll both survive

For I'll be whole and so alive

Next time I love
