A Chance With Love

( A CHANCE WITH LOVE )
 
This fire of love still burns inside
After all these years I've kept it alive
Even after we went our separate ways
Now all those years seem like mere days.

I would never have guess back then
That our paths would ever cross again
But I hope you know I'm happy they did
And now I'm glad I kept my heart hid.

I know there was reasons I never found love
As I sat and prayed to the skies above
For you to come back and give me my chance
All I ever needed was just one dance.

With your heart to show you this is real
And I mean everything I say I feel
And these feelings I feel never changed
Even though I was left a bit deranged.

Hope helped carry me through it all
As I convinced myself, one day you'd fall
For me as I fell for you so long ago
Now you're here and this fire still glows.

So take my hand and walk next to me
I know this path we walk was meant to be
Let us now grow old together
My love for you will outlast forever.
