Chances

Chances It’s 2.am and this old bar is closing He knows the partners have been chosen But in a corner booth he spots lonely youth And he catches her eye Well he moves fast and says my name is Steven Guess I blew my chance since everyone is leaving She stands up to go, never says hello But she never says goodbye Then she smiles and leans her head back t’ward the door And as she takes his hand his jaw falls to the floor Now we all take chances every once in a while We take chances, if it’s just to ease our minds We all take chances, wrong or right Oh, but sometimes chances take us by surprise Morning light comes shining through a window She wakes just in time to hear him go She curls up in bed, hands on her head Tears in her eyes She relives the night they spent together Shouts out loud, Lord knows I knew better Then she hears a sound, slips on her gown Takes a look outside With coffee and flowers he walks t’ward the door And as he says good morning her jaw falls to the floor Now we all take chances every once in a while We take chances, if it’s just to ease our minds We all take chances, wrong or right Oh, but sometimes chances take us by surprise Yes, sometimes chances take us by surprise
