Chance At Love

Suzanne Mondoux · 13 August 2020

So many times I saw you sitting at the end of the bar I stayed on my side and watched you sip your wine You swayed in your seat to rhythm and blues One night you went to the dance floor and danced alone I watched you move I knew then you were my chance at love

The band vanished behind you You parted the sea with a gentle pivot You’re all I could see You’re all I could dream You were my chance at love

The lights grew dim and music slowed My chance at love came with a dance I put out my hand and you followed my steps In that moment I embraced my chance at love

We danced all night It was last call You sipped your wine And let me walk you home I knew you where my chance at love

So many years have gone by You are my chance at love Each day I watch you from morning to night You’re in my arms Each day I know my chance at love
