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 heartfelt 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 pocketful of victories
to add to life's long past
Chorus
Next time we'll get it right
in another life, in 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
Chorus
