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.

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
I ain't gonna fall on my knees
And come out of love empty handed.
But next time I'll be
Even harder to please
When will the next time be?
