Not Until the Next Time
Jim Reeves · Up Through the Years/Distant Drums [BMG Internatio [2004]
Not until the next time
Will I cry all night for you
Yes, I'll stop loving you
Until the next time.
Here I am the way you left me
With a heart so full of pain
As I look into the past
I see the picture once again.
Each time I let it happen
I vow this is the end
And I stopped loving you
Until the next time.
Not until the next time
Will I cry all night for you
And listen when you beg me
For a chance when your untrue.
Not until the next time
Will my heart let me forgive
Yes, I'll stop loving you
Until the next time.
Once again I take your picture
And place it out of sight
And I put away the record
We listen to each night.
I rearrange each little thing thing
As I've done so many times
And I won't put them back
Until the next time.
Not until the next time
Will I cry all night for you
And listen when you beg me
For a chance when your untrue.
Not until the next time
Will my heart let me forgive
Yes, I'll stop loving you
Until the next time...
Not Until the Next Time
