Michael Bolton - Next Lifetime lyrics

(Michael Bolton/Liz Sharpe)

Don't know why I never told you

There was something in your eyes that took my breath away

And every word I meant to say

Now I know I'd give my soul to you

Take you back in time and hold you

Just for one more day, so I wouldn't have to hurt this way

So I beg and plead, I'm on my knees

Gonna show you how long I can wait

I can't keep holding on if you're telling my heart it's too late

Chorus:

Next lifetime our love will be deeper

And I'll hold you sweeter

I won't waste so much time

Next lifetime I'll find you sooner

And I'll kiss you better

I won't lose you next time

Oh I will lay my heart on the line, next lifetime

I don't know what I was thinking

But giving you a part of me wasn't good enough

Never gave you all my love

I can't believe I was such a fool

All I needed was to prove to you I could feel like this

Could have said it all in our last kiss

Oh I beg and plead, I'm on my knees

I could never unmake my mistake

I can keep holding on but if somebody's taking my place

Chorus

Never knew how long the nights could be

Till you slipped right through my hands

How do I make you believe that I deserve a second chance

Take me back to the place where your heart was mine

If I could take you back in time

I will lay my heart on the line (x2)
