Linda Eder Next Time I Love lyrics

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
