Lyrics

Maybe Next Time

I had a dream
You know I had the kind of dream
Where everything?s fine and you?re so in love
Pink cotton clouds in the sky above?

You walked through the trees
Smiling like the Cheshire Cat
Yellow sundress and a floppy hat
Looking like an extra from ?The King And I?

It never fails
I never make it to the curtain, baby
The lights come up too soon-
They always do?

But I can close my eyes and drift away
To where it all began
To all the love I guess
We?re never going to make again?

You know it?s far too hard to find, my friend
To let it slip away
Maybe next time?
We will treat it like the gift it is?
A precious thing, so rare?
A song on the evening air?

I?m strolling along
I?m walking down a country road
Tree-lined shade and I?m 12 years old
Whistling a song from Rubber Soul?

It never fails
I never get to see the ending, darling-
The sun goes down too soon?
I never do?

But I can close my eyes and drift away
To where it all began
To all the love I guess
We?re never going to make again?
