Next Time - Dan Fogelberg

One too many days

I’ve felt forgotten

And one too many nights

I’ve slept alone

And every time I watch the fruit turn rotten

I tell myself I’ll try a little harder next time

Next time

Sacred are the ties

That love entrusts us

Even if they fray

Before they bind

And I’m afraid I never did you justice

So I’m going to feel my love a little stronger

Make it last a little longer next time

Next time

The next time I ain’t gonna fall on my knees

Come out of love empty handed

But next time I’ll be even harder to please

When will the next time be?

When will the next time be?

Next time I ain’t gonna fall on my knees for nobody

And come out of love empty handed

But next time I’ll be even harder to please

When will the next time be?

Tell me now, when will the next time be?

One too many days

I’ve felt forgotten by you

And one too many nights

I’ve slept alone, alone

And every time I watch the fruit turn rotten

I tell myself I’ll try a little harder

Play my cards a little smarter next time

Next time
