lyrics

IN ANOTHER LIFETIME (M. Kortes/A. Roboff) Magda Lane Music (ASCAP)/Rent-A-song (ASCAP)


Not getting any younger
And none too wise
Once more I have fallen
For the same disguise
You said you were ready
And I could rest assured
Blind faith is an illness
They expect to cure

CHO: In another lifetime you might be
Everything you led me to believe
A heart on fire and strong enough to stay
But that's another lifetime away

Who's the one you were fooling
Was it me or you
When you gave me a feeling
Like I never ever knew
Everyone tried to tell me
That it would not last
And my visions of you
Would only come to pass

CHO: In another lifetime you might be
Everything you led me to believe
A heart on fire and strong enough to stay
But that's another lifetime away

BRIDGE: My tears will end just like summer rain
But there'll never come a season when you change


In another lifetime...


CHO: In another lifetime you might be
Everything you led me to believe
A heart on fire and strong enough to stay
But that's another lifetime away

In another lifetime you might be
Everything you led me to believe
A heart on fire and strong enough to stay
But that's another lifetime away

Not getting any younger
No
And none too wise
In another lifetime
