I know it's late
But I had to tell you what's been on my mind
It's been so long
Since I held you close and looked into your eyes

Refrain:
I know that lately it seems
That time has passed us by
But boy I promise
That our love will make it right

Chorus:
(But the next time I hold)
The next time that I hold you in my arms
(The next time I touch)
I've been longing boy, yes I'm longing for your touch
(The next time I kiss)
Let me taste the sweetness of your lips on mine
(The next time is for you)
the next time's all for you
I hope you know this love we have is true

Come close to me
Let me show you that my heart is yours to keep
No, baby no, don't you hesitate
This time you will feel it
in my embrace

I know that lately it seems
That time has passed us by
But boy I promise
That our love will make it right

(But the next time I hold)
The next time that I hold you in my arms
(The next time I touch)
I've been longing boy, yes I'm longing for your touch
(The next time I kiss)
Let me taste the sweetness of your lips on mine
(The next time is for you)
the next time's all for you
I hope you know this love we have is true

(But the next time I hold)
The next time that I hold you in my arms
(The next time I touch)
I've been longing boy, yes I'm longing for your touch
(The next time I kiss)
Let me taste the sweetness of your lips on mine
(The next time is for you)
the next time's all for you
I hope you know this love we have is true
