V.1 I didn't write a letter, that isn't what I do I keep it in my head and in my heart The next time that I see you, I'll remember what to say And I won't leave you standing in the dark Ch: The next time that I see you I'm hoping it will be a better day The next time that I see you I'm hoping it will be a better day V.2 I've walked a million miles in my worn-out walking shoes I've seen a lot of things to make me smile But nothing I have found compares to lying in your arms Feeling safe and warm just for a while Bridge: And though I know there's time enough to turn this all around I just don't know if I can find a way Days are long and the nights are cold, this world's a lonely place Still I wait and hope for better days Ch: The next time that I see you I'm hoping it will be a better day The next time that I see you I'm hoping it will be a better day
