Linda Eder - Next Time I Love lyrics

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 change?

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 I 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 lvoe

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
