Sarah Jabri Poet Lyric

Taking Chances

Late of '56, a run through time I'll take
In your sweet blue shorts and top       
You stopped my time and said
"Mister, a ticket for 1 if you please
I have this night all for myself,      
So I'm taking my chances".     

And I stood till the night ends, 
At the front door of the movies
Hoping you'd notice, 
The silly brown eyed man in me.

So here I am taking my chances,
Walked straight right up and said
"I hope you don't mind,
but you stopped my time for a while, 
and I know this is silly, 
But lady if you'd let me, 
may I walk you home?".

Time came, I knew you well
You held my hand and stayed
Here we are taking our chances
Hoping they'd do the same

(country lyric)
