THE CHANCE

When those girls walked in together

It got mighty hot in here

They could not have been more different

Both were beauties, that was clear

One was tall, short raven hair

A tattooed work of art

Sure’d like to get a better view

Of the wings over her heart

Her friend was small, with bright blue eyes

Honey hair hung long and loose

A man could count himself quite blessed

If he had the chance to choose

~~~*Chorus*~~~

I’m gonna take a chance

Ask one to dance

Maybe this will be my night

Maybe just tonight

Maybe all my life

If the chance turns out alright 

Gotta take the chance and try

~~*~~

I saw her at the theater

Her red hair caught my eye

When she looked up, and smiled at me

My collar got too tight

She said I've never seen a man

Turn brighter than this hair

As we stood and laughed about it

I chose to take a dare

~~~*Lyrical Bridge*~~~

Oh…

Perhaps I will get lucky

There’s a possibility 

I’m the kind of man

That will take the chance

Given opportunity

Whether it’s a date

She just wants to play

Maybe she’s my destiny

I don’t know who she is yet

Gotta take the chance to see

~~*~~

~~~*Final Chorus*~~~

I’m gonna take a chance

See if she has plans

Maybe this will be my night

Maybe just tonight 

Maybe all my life

If the chance turns out alright

Gotta take the chance and try

~~*~~
