[Verse 1]
Beneath the stars on a quiet night,
I think of you, and it just ain't right,
Should’ve told you how I felt inside,
But my heart was scared, so I just let it slide.
We rode those roads with the windows down,
You were the queen, I was just the clown,
Now here I am, thinking back on the past,
If I only had the courage, if love could last.
[Chorus]
I’ll love you in the next life, I swear it's true,
In that wild, open heart, I'll find my way to you.
I missed out on love, oh how it stings,
For the woman I cherished, I never gave you a ring.
Lost in my fears, I let sunshine fade,
Now I’m haunted by the choices I made.
[Verse 2]
Days turned to years, but the scars remain,
I see your smile in the pouring rain,
Could’ve held you close, could’ve called you mine,
But I played it safe, and now I’m outta time.
Late-night talks, under that old oak tree,
You shared your dreams, but I couldn't see,
The love right in front of my foolish heart,
Now regret's my shadow, tearing me apart.
[Chorus]
I’ll love you in the next life, I swear it's true,
In that wild, open heart, I'll find my way to you.
I missed out on love, oh how it stings,
For the woman I cherished, I never gave you a ring.
Lost in my fears, I let sunshine fade,
Now I’m haunted by the choices I made.
[Bridge]
Oh, I watch you with someone, and it cuts like a knife,
Wishing I could turn back the hands of time,
In another world, where I’d take a leap,
We’d dance in the moonlight, not sowing what I reap.
[Verse 3]
So here’s my promise, in this life and the next,
I’ll treasure your heart, I’ll show my respect,
We’ll laugh and we’ll love, no regrets to confide,
In that golden sunrise, with you by my side.
[Chorus]
I’ll love you in the next life, I swear it's true,
In that wild, open heart, I'll find my way to you.
I missed out on love, oh how it stings,
For the woman I cherished, I never gave you a ring.
Lost in my fears, I let sunshine fade,
Now I’m haunted by the choices I made.
[Outro]
So here’s to the dreamers and those who roam,
Take my advice, don’t let love feel alone,
Speak up your heart before it's too late,
‘Cause in the next life, I’ll be knocking at fate.
