Maybe Next Year

It’s late in December the mountains are painted in white

The songs of the season are what everyone’s singing tonight

The talk turns to walks in the sand

Warm ocean breezes and tropical nights

Every year we say maybe next year

The eyes in the photograph are the only thing time hasn’t changed

The young man in the overcoat’s gone and this old man remains

He wonders how long can a lucky old fool

Keep on winning this wonderful game

Every year he says maybe next year

There’ll be one more dance in the moonlight

One more kiss please

You have secrets to whisper

You can tell me

We wish on a shooting star as it fires up the sky with its light

It’s gone in an instant but we keep our eyes on the night

We never wonder if wishes come true

We keep wishing with all of our might

And every year we say maybe next year

There’ll be one more dance in the moonlight

One more kiss please

You have secrets to whisper

You can tell me

There’ll be one more dance in the moonlight

One more kiss please

You have secrets to whisper

You can tell me
