Next Time

Words and Music by Mark Dailey

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 heart-felt 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 pocket full of victories, to add to lives long past.

Next time we’ll get it right,
in another life and another time.
Next time will be our time,
a love so strong to span all time.
Next time we’ll get it right,
in another life and 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.

Next time will be our time,
a love so strong to span all time.
Next time we’ll get it right,
in another life and another time
Next time will be our time,
a love so strong to span all time.
Next time we’ll get it right,
in another life and another time
Where souls collide.
