This Time Next Year 

Written by Babyface, David Foster, Toni Braxton(2001 from the album Snowflakes) 

Performed by Toni Braxton 

Verse 1 

This time next year I'll be home lighting candles 

Tryin' to just get on with my life 

And this time next year hope I'm through with the hurting 

Tryin' to get you out of my mind 

B-section 1 

So, don't try to play like you're not that concerned 

And don't try to say that your heart doesn't burn 

Oh, tell me 

Chorus 

How can you say that our love isn't special? 

How can you say that our love wasn't true? 

And how can you say you can take it or leave it(Leave it) 

When I'm missing you 

And you know you'll be missing me, too? 

Verse 2 

This time next year I'll be out buying presents 

And something will remind me of you, yeah, yeah 

And this time next year I'll be out having dinner 

And run into some friends we both knew, yeah, yeah 

B-section 2 

Oh, don't try to play like you won't be concerned 

And don't try to say that your heart doesn't yearn 

Oh, tell me 

Chorus 

How can you say that our love isn't special? 

How can you say that our love wasn't true? 

And how can you say you can take it or leave it(Leave it) 

When I'm missing you 

And you know you'll be missing me, too? 

Bridge 

Come early Christmas morning 

I'll be having my coffee and I'll think of you 

And the things we used to do, ooh 

And you know it will be breaking my heart 

'Cause the holidays are special 

it will always play a part in my 

Heart 

Tell me 

Chorus 

(How can you say )How can you do it, baby 

(How can you say) How can you say our love aint true? 

(How can you say) you can take it or leave it(Leave it) 

When I'm missing you 

And you know you'll be missing 

Tell me 

(How can you say )How can you say baby our love aint special 

(How can you say) Tell me how you say our love aint true? 

(How can you say) You can take it or leave it(Leave it) 

When I'm missing you 

And you know you'll be missing 

When I'm missing you 

And you know you'll be missing, baby yeah 

I'm missing you 

And you know (you'll be missing) 

That you be missing me, too?
