Default Lyric slide show - using a variable to pull text from next slide

Hi, I have something I was wondering and if it's possible.
I have a slideshow that is simply song lyrics for a floor prompter. Each slide has 3 text text boxes - a SONG TITLE, LYRIC BODY and NEXT boxes.
Currently, I have each box manually filled, and the NEXT box has the title of the next slide (to cue singer to what song is coming up next).

Since this slideshow is changed often for different song orders, I was wondering if there was a way to have that NEXT box actually PULL the SONG TITLE from the next slide into it's own box. This would save having to retype the titles into the NEXT box by hand after re-ordering slides every time.

Any info will be appreciated, as will any other suggestions for semi-automating this.
Thanks!
BTW, I'm using Office 2013 on Windows 8, playing back on a Surface Pro (landscape rotated).
