Lyrics: Jack Murphy

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
you 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
