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
