Lyrics Better Luck Next Time - Fred Astaire, Judy Garland

Better Luck Next Time

«For ev’ry rose that withers and dies
Another blooms in its stead
A new love waits to open its eyes
After the old love is dead»
That sounds all right in a careless rhyme
But there’s seldom a second time
Better luck next time
That could never be
Because there ain’t gonna be no next time for me
No, siree
Made up my mind to make another start
I’ve made my mind up but I can’t make up my heart
I’d like a new lucky day
That would be nice
But this comes just once in a lifetime
Not twice
So don’t say
Better luck next time
That can never be
Because there ain’t gonna be no next time for me
