The Next Time It Happens

I leapt before I looked

And I got hooked

I played with fire and burned—

That's how I learned

I must admit I owe a lot to you

From now on I will know what not to do

The next time it happens

I'll be wise enough to know

Not to trust my eyesight when my eyes begin to glow

The next time I'm in love

With anyone like you

My heart will sing no love song 'til I know the words are true

"The next time it happens"—

What a foolish thing to say

Who expects a miracle to happen every day?

It isn't in the cards

As far as I can see

That a thing so beautiful and wonderful

Could happen more than once to me

The next time it happens

I'll be wise enough to know

Not to trust my eyesight when my eyes begin to glow

The next time I'm in love

With anyone like you

My heart will sing no love song 'til I know the words are true

"The next time it happens"—

What a foolish thing to say

Who expects a miracle to happen every day?

It isn't in the cards

As far as I can see

That a thing so beautiful and wonderful

Could happen more than once to me
