If There Ever Is a Next Time

Matt Monro

Compositor: Don Black / Ron Grainer

If there ever is a next time
Make it now
While there's time to make you love me
Show me how

I can offer you the autumn of my life
Please, will you share it?
And I can dress you in a veil that's made of dreams
Will you wear it?

You've been dancing 'round my mind
Like a bright carousel
Though the carousel won’t stop
I feel I know you well

Some days, when I look at you
I'm so sure I can see
That the misty look of love
On your face is just for me
If I'm wrong, it's nice pretending
It may soon be my next time

I can offer you the autumn of my life
Will you share it?
I can dress you in a veil that's made of dreams
But, will you wear it?

If I'm wrong, it's nice pretending
It may soon be my next time
