I let true love slip away

I feel the pain every day

I was blind and didn’t see

What God had given to me

The moments I’ll never forget

They feel my heart with regret

Next time I’ll cherish love when I find it

Do what’s necessary to bind it

I took so much for granted

I didn’t water the seeds planted

I didn’t know how to handle love

I didn’t know it was sweeter than a dove

I learned my lesson too late

I’ve changed positions to the letter

It will make me better

Next  time I’ll cherish love when I find it

Do what’s necessary to bind it

I’ll never get that love back again

Yet, God will show me how to win

I’ve looked at me

And now I’m what I”m supposed to be

I’ll carry that lesson everywhere I go

It’ll help me grow

Next time I’ll cherish love when I find it

Do what’s necessary to bind it

True love comes once in a lifetime

It should be nourished in its prime

Next time I’ll cherish love when I find it

Do what’s necessary to bind it

Next time
