Not In This Lifetime
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Maybe a day will come
When you look into my eyes
And you won't see the love you saw before
Maybe a day will come
When the words you need to hear from me
Are gone with the closing of a door.
Chorus
But not in this lifetime
Not in this lifetime
It's too impossible to do
Not in this lifetime
Could this heart of mine
Be for anyone else but you
Maybe a night will come
You'll reach for me and find
That I'm just a stranger that you hardly know
Maybe a night will come
When all this love I'm feeling for you now
I won't feel anymore
Chorus
But not in this lifetime
Not in this lifetime
It's too impossible to do
Not in this lifetime
Could this heart of mine
Be for anyone else but you
There could never be a moment in my life
No, not a single minute
That didn't have you in it.
Not in this lifetime
Not in this lifetime
It's too impossible to do
No, not in this lifetime
Could this heart of mine
Be for anyone else but you
Be for anyone else but you
