The Next Time Around - Roger Voudouris

Then came question and it was about time The answer came back and it was long The house it was built by so men in rhyme But whatever came of his talented son Who wrote me a dialogue set a tune Always you told me of being alone Except for the stories about God and you And do you still live there, in Buffalo They put up the walls, no more to say Nobody stopped to ask why it was done The stream was too far and the rains to high So into the city the river did run Because of the architect the buildings fell down Smothered and drowned all the seeds that you sowed I wish I was somewhere but not in this town Maybe the ocean next time around I seem to remember the face and the name But if it's not you I don't care I know of changes, but nothing would change you To Theo the sailor who sings in his lair Then I'll turn and he won't be there, Dusky black windows to light the dark stair Candles will nod in the musty air Oh, with the flames for as many as the years

Love is lovelier the second time around Just as wonderful with both feet on the ground It's that second time you hear your love song sung It makes you think perhaps that love, like youth, is wasted on the young Love's more comfortable the second time you fall Like a friendly home the second time you call Who can say what led us to this miracle we've found? There are those who'll bet love comes but once and yet I'm, oh, so glad we met the second time around Who can say what led us to this miracle we've found There are those who'll bet love comes but once and yet I'm very glad we met the second time around

I did not know what you were about Something called "love" Made me want to find out Did not think you could ever care But I'm outta control 'Cause you're takin' me there I couldn't believe our love would last It's comin' on strong, girl Comin' on so much faster Get used to it 'Cause I'll be around Yeah, ya better get used to All my love Get used to it Don' t let me down You pulled me in So don't turn me around You didn't hesitate And told me just how you feel Well there ain't no mistake This time it's for real I didn't believe our love would last It's comin' on strong, girl Comin' on so much faster Get used to it 'Cause I'll be around Yeah, ya better get used to All my love, please I'll be around you Because I'm crazy about you I'll be around you, baby You know I can't live without you I'll be around ya, baby 'Cause I'm hungry for your love So you better get used to it 'Cause I'll be around Yeah, ya better get used to All my love, please Ya, better get used to All my love, baby Ya, better get used To our love
