Love like a road that never ends
How it leads me back again
To heartache
I'll never understand
Darling I put my heart up on a shelf
'Til the moment was right and I tell myself
 
Next time I fall in love
I'll know better what to do
Next time I fall in love
Ooh ooh ooh
The next time I fall in love
The next time I fall in love
It will be with you
 
Oh, now as I look into your eyes
Well I wonder if it's wise
To hold you
Like I've wanted to before
Tonight, ooh I was thinking that you might
Be the one who breathes life in this heart of mine
 
Next time I fall in love
I'll know better what to do
Next time I fall in love
Ooh ooh ooh
The next time I fall in love
The next time I fall in love
It will be with you
 
Next time I'm gonna follow through
And if it drives me crazy
I will know better why
The next time I try
 
Next time I fall in love
I'll know better what to do
Next time I fall in love
Ooh ooh ooh
The next time I fall in love
The next time I fall in love
It will be with you
 
Next time I fall in love (next time I fall)
Oh oh oh
Next time I fall in love
Ooh ooh ooh
The next time I fall in love
The next time I fall in love
It will be with you.

        Dick Farney, nome artístico de Farnésio Dutra e Silva (Rio de Janeiro, 14 de novembro de 1921 — 4 de agosto de 1987) foi um cantor, pianista e compositor brasileiro.
         Começou a tocar piano ainda na infância, quando aprendia música erudita com o pai, enquanto a mãe lhe ensinava canto.
       Em 1937, estreou como cantor no programa Hora Juvenil, na rádio Cruzeiro do Sul do Rio de Janeiro, quando interpretou a canção "Deep Purple", composta por Pete DeRose. Foi levado por César Ladeira para a Rádio Mayrink Veiga, passando a apresentar o programa Dick Farney, a Voz e o Piano. O conjunto Os Swing Maníacos, formado por Dick, tinha ao lado o irmão Cyll Farney, na bateria, e acompanhou Edu da Gaita na gravação da música "Canção da Índia", do compositor russo Nikolay Rimsky-Korsakov (1844–1908).
         De 1941 a 1944, foi crooner da orquestra de Carlos Machado, no Cassino da Urca, no tempo em que o jogo era permitido no Brasil. Em 1946, foi convidado para ir para os Estados Unidos, depois do encontro com o arranjador Bill Hitchcock e o pianista Eddie Duchin, no Hotel Copacabana Palace. Nesse período, gravou o famoso tema jazzístico "Tenderly", considerado a primeira gravação mundial. Entre 1947 e 1948, fez várias apresentações na Rádio NBC, principalmente como cantor fixo no programa do comediante Milton Berle. Em 1948, apresentou-se com sucesso na boate carioca Vogue.
        Em 1956, gravou ao vivo o show "Meia-Noite em Copacabana", bem ao estilo da Broadway, lançado pela gravadora Polydor, com temas americanos e brasileiros, que é considerado um marco para a Bossa Nova, devido à mistura de samba e jazz. Em 1959, era exibido o programa de TV Dick Farney Show, na TV Record de São Paulo. Em 1960, formou a banda Dick Farney e sua Orquestra, que animou muitos bailes. Em 1964, com o advento da Bossa Nova, gravou, a convite de Aloysio de Oliveira, pela gravadora Elenco, o disco Dick Farney(Elenco ME-15), com a participação especial de Norma Bengell na faixa solo "Vou Por Aí" (Baden Powell e Aloysio de Oliveira) e em dueto na faixa "Você" (Roberto Menescal e Ronaldo Bôscoli).
         Em 1965, apresentou o programa Dick e Betty na recém-inaugurada TV Globo do Rio de Janeiro, ao lado de Betty Faria e Dick Farney. Ainda nesse ano, voltou a gravar o segundo disco pela Elenco o LP Dick Farney: Piano, Gaya: Orquestra. Entre 1977 e 1987, Gogô passou a ser seu pianista acompanhador.
        Foi proprietário das boates Farney's e Farney's Inn, ambas em São Paulo. Em 1971, formou um trio com Sabá(contrabaixo) e Toninho Pinheiro(bateria). Entre 1973 e 1978, tocou piano e cantou na boate Chez Régine, também na capital paulista, onde morreria, vítima de um edema pulmonar, em 1987, aos 65 anos.
Depois de trabalhar toda semana
Meu sábado não vou desperdiçar
Já fiz o meu programa pra esta noite
E já sei por onde começar.
 
Um bom lugar pra encontrar
Copacabana
Pra passear a beira mar
Copacabana
Depois um bar, a meia luz
Copacabana
Eu esperei por esta noite
uma semana
 
Um bom jantar, depois dançar
Copacabana
Pra se amar, um só lugar
Copacabana
E a noite passa
Tão depressa
Mas vou voltar lá pra semana
Se eu encontrar um novo amor
Copacabana.

Darling if you want me to be closer to you
Get closer to me
Darling if you want me to be closer to you
Get closer to me
Darling if you want me to love, love only you
Then love only me
Darling if you want me to see, see only you
Then see only me
There's a line that I can't cross over
It's no good for me and it's no good for you
And that feeling deep down inside me
I can't explain it and you're wondering why
You say we been like strangers
But I'm not the others you can hang by your fingers
Darling if you want me to be closer to you
Get closer to me
Darling if you want me to be closer to you
Get closer to me
Darling if you want me to love, love only you
Then love only me
Darling if you want me to see, see only you
Then see only me
There was a time I would come running
Drop everything for the touch of your hand in mine
??????????
And I can't go on living
Wondering if you'll be here tomorrow
People change and you're changing
And I've given you my all
That no one can borrow
Darling if you want me to be closer to you
Get closer to me
Darling if you want me to be closer to you
Get closer to me
Darling if you want me to be closer to you
Get closer to me...

Break it to me gently
Let me down the easy way
Make me feel that you still love me
If it's just, if it's just for one more day
Break it to me gently
 
So my tears, my tears won't fall too fast
If you must go, then go slowly
Let me love you 'till the last
The love we shared for oh so long
Is such a big part of me
 
If you must take your love away
Take it gradually
Oh break it, break it to me gently
Give me time or give me a little time to ease the pain
 
Love me just a little longer
'Cause I never never love again
'Cause I'll never love (never love again).
