The Next Time I Fall
Amy Grant feat. Peter Cetera Lyrics

Love like a road that never ends
Love is like a road that never comes to an end, it always leads one back to where one started.

How it leads me back again
Love always leads one back to the person who they love after a separation.

To heartache
However, love is accompanied by heartache which is difficult to comprehend.

I'll never understand
The complexity of love and the emotions involved make it difficult to understand at times.

Darling I put my heart up on a shelf
I have put my heart aside for a while and avoided any romantic involvement until the time is right.

'Till the moment was right and I told myself
I have been waiting for the right moment to express my love and I finally found it.

Now as I look into your eyes
As I gaze into your eyes, I am filled with wonder and admiration.

Well I wonder if it's wise
I am uncertain whether entering into a romantic relationship with you is the wisest thing to do.

To hold you
However, I desire to embrace you and be close to you more than ever before.

Like I've wanted to before
I have yearned to hold you in my arms for a long time and the desire has grown even stronger.

Tonight oh I was thinking that you might
As I pondered tonight, I had a feeling that you could be the one to make my heart come alive.

Be the one who breathes life in this heart of mine
You could be the person who breathes life into my soul and makes me feel alive.

Next time I'm gonna follow through
The next time I fall in love, I am going to take action and pursue the person I love.

And if it drives me crazy
Even if this pursuit of love drives me to the brink of insanity, I will still follow through.

I will know better why
At least, I will understand why I am going through all of this engagement and trying to find someone to love.

The next time I try
The next time I fall in love, I will put in a concerted effort and be determined to make things work out well.

The next time I fall in love
The next time I fall in love, it will be with you, without any hesitation, doubt, or ambiguity.
