Lyrics
THE CHANCE I COULDN'T TAKE
I was just walking out,
At the moment that you walked in.
But your split-second glance,
Put my heart in a trance
And my head in an endless spin.
It was destiny's call,
And my life-long dream come true.
A special moment for me,
But would your heart agree?
Well, right then and there I knew . . .
Exactly what to do because,
Never meeting you was,
The chance I couldn't' take.
I didn't want to make,
The biggest mistake of my life.
Introducing myself,
I could barely walk up to you.
But what I really feared,
Was if you disappeared.
Well, right then and there I knew . . .
(Repeat Chorus)
I was never one to take chances in matters of the heart,
And this seemed like the perfect time not to start.
Tried to say something nice,
But I didn't have a clue.
Then you smiled at me,
Just as warm as can be.
Well, I'm so glad you knew . . .
(Repeat Chorus)
The chance I couldn't take,
So glad I didn't make,
The biggest mistake of my life.
