Next time you fall in love
from "Starlight Express" - Andrew Lloyd Webber

John has always loved Marlena but lost her
so many times. This is his song:

I guess I am not to good
in keeping love alive for long
I think I have found the answers
but the answer’s always wrong
My first love was my true love
and it should have been my last
The only time I’m happy
is when I’m dreaming in the past

Next time you fall inlove,
it better be with me
the way it used to be
back than…was when…
we touched the starlight

sometimes you turn away
from what your heart tells you is right
and so you settle for
what ever gets you thought the night
the flame you thought was dead
may suddenly begin to burn
and broken hearts can be repaired
that’s something that you learn

Next time you fall inlove,
it better be with me
The way it used to be
back than…was when…
we touched the starlight

I’ve re-lived every moment
That I ever shared with you
What fools we were to end a dream
That looked like coming true

Next time you fall inlove,
it better be with me
The way it used to be
back than…was when…
we touched the starlight

I guess I am not to good
in keeping love alive for long
I think I have found the answers
but the answer’s always wrong
My first love was my true love
and it should have been my last
The only time I’m happy
is when I’m dreaming in the past

Next time you fall inlove,
it better be with me
the way it used to be
back than…was when…
we touched the starlight
