The Next Time Songtext
von John Paul Young

Now when I came along this evenin′
I didn't know that you′d be here
It's been so long since I last saw you
It must be gettin' on the year
I heard you say I haven′t changed much
That I still have my same old smile
But I wish that I could tell you
The way I really feel inside

I wish that I could say your smile
Hides my broken heart
Stops me cryin′
Stops me wishin' I were dyin′
That smile hides my broken heart
Hides my sorrow
Stops me thinkin' ′bout tomorrow


So the next time that you see me
Just try bearin' that in mind
You maybe see me smile, but there′s a broken heart behind
The next time
The next time you see me, smile

Now we've been talkin' here all evenin′
About the good times that we had
We′ve been laughin', we′ve been jokin'
But deep inside I feel so bad
You′ll never know how much I want you
You'll never know the way I feel
′Cause I can see that you're more happy
Lovin' him than lovin′ me

I wish that I could say

I wish that I could say your smile
Hides my broken heart
Stops me cryin′
Stops me wishin' I were dyin′
The smile hides my broken heart
Hides my sorrow
Stops me thinkin' ′bout tomorrow


So the next time that you see me
Just try bearin' that in mind
You maybe see me smile, but there′s a broken heart behind
The next time (next time)
The next time you see me smile

The next time you see me smile

I wish that I could say your smile
Hides my broken heart
Stops me cryin'
Stops me wishin' I was dyin′
A smile hides my broken heart
Hides my sorrow
Stops me thinkin′ 'bout tomorrow

So the next time that you see me
Just try bearin′ this in mind
You maybe see me smile, there's a broken heart behind
The next time (next time)
Next time you see me, smile (a smile hides my broken heart)

(Stops me cryin′) ooh-ooh, oh-oh
(Stops me wishin' I was dyin′)
(A smile hides my broken heart)
