Lyrics
ONE CHANCE
VERSE 1 Well lately I’ve been doing some thinking; about the way I’ve approached things with you
Early on it had been so easy; but oh the problems I must battle through
CHORUS
And I’ve just got one chance to go
To win your heart before I go away
And if I cannot do that
There’ll be nothing more to make me want to stay
I’ve got one chance; I’ve just got one chance
I’ve got one chance; I’ve just got one chance
One chance; one chance; one chance; one chance; yeah
VERSE 2
Rendezvous clandestine and secrets; locked away in places without a key
Tarnished broadsheets open for the reading; hollow affection blinding me
CHORUS
And I’ve just got one chance to go
To win your heart before I go away
And if I cannot do that
There’ll be nothing more to make me want to stay
I’ve got one chance; I’ve just got one chance
I’ve got one chance; I’ve just got one chance
One chance; one chance; one chance; one chance; yeah
BRIDGE
Sunset’s blazing incandescence
Moonlight’s opaque misty shroud
A chalice drained but a thirst unquenched
A prize worthy of the fight
The wheel of fortune has not stopped turning
The Empress to bid for her crown tonight; tonight
CHORUS
And I’ve just got one chance to go
To win your heart before I go away
And if I cannot do that
There’ll be nothing more to make me want to stay
I’ve got one chance; I’ve just got one chance
I’ve got one chance; I’ve just got one chance
One chance; one chance; one chance; one chance; yeah
