If In Our Next Life

Co-wrote by "Mi Amante Alma" - Middle Verse 



If we are both single when we are 30, 
then lets go for a dance, a drink, and a late night walk 
and see where things go. 
Let the passion lead us. 
Our souls will bring us where we must go this walk of life.
And if I never lie within your arms, 
and this life leaves us only scorned, 
wondering what could have happened - if only. 
Then swear in the next life we will find each other.

                   ~

If In our next life we meet again 
I'll burn a memory into my mind 
to not let you go again 
if I become a rich man 
I'll spend every last cent to find you 
if I were given a year till my death 
I'll search till my last breath to find you 
and tell you I loved you since life began 
and if I never find you in our next life 
my only regret will be that I never loved you 
the way my heart wanted to

                    ~

If in our next life, I find that I am alone, 
I will wish on the stars, wish on my heart, 
wish for you on my soul. 
If I am born poor, and I have nothing to live for, 
my dreams of you will keep me going. 
I will sing I will pray I will look everyday 
and if you even walk by, I will know you by chance, 
take your hand, and you will see it in my eyes. 
If in our next life.

Nice interesting write. You have ended the last line in your second verse with a preposition. I have a suggestion to correct that grammatical flaw: how about replacing "wanted to" with "had wished"? That was just a helpful suggestion. Everything else looks appropriate.

Make the next life now, not tomorrow. This love is real, and fearful, and joyful, and full of hunger running two ways, passion and desperate need with the chance of total embrace, or with a lost race against place and time. This is a masterpiece of the heart. I love it. A sport of love and lust. J.A.B.
