Next Time

I guess it's just the circumstance

The end is getting near

Not what I had planned

To be thankful you're not here

Somehow I didn't reach

My most heartfelt goal

Just wanted you to know

You've made a difference in my soul

Faced with fleeting glimpses

Of moments that I've had

So close and very real

Finality's tightened grasp

It's now that i can see

I've led a charmed life

A pocketful of victories

To add to life's long past

CHORUS

Next time we'll get it right

In another life, in another time

Next time will be our time

A love so strong to span all time

Where souls collide

If you should meet a man

Or boy with well-known grin

Please remember what I've said

I know what you believe in

You see, the power of a soul

Is something still unknown

But of one thing I am sure

Love outlives flesh and bone

CHORUS
