Lyrics
Next Phase
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.
You have always struck a chord in me
One that resonates within like ancient chemistry
You have always rung the bell my love
Taken it upon yourself to lift my spirits high above
When I work you know its just my job
Something that I do to pass the time
Before the next phase of our love
Before the next phase, before the next phase of our love
You have always filled my empty cup
Laid the food upon my plate for me to eat it up
You have always flown a higher plane
Taken it upon yourself to drive the engine of my train
Into the next phase, to the next phase of our love
Hey hey
When I work you know its just for pay
Something that I do to pass the time
Before the next time that you say
Youll be right there anyway for the next phase of our love
Hey hey
For the next phase hmmmm
