I’M TAKING A CHANCE WITH YOU

(Hanley)


As recorded by:
Biltmore Players, Dir. Jay Wilbur
V. Cavan O’Connor
Recorded 21st November 1932



What makes me love you so
When common sense says “No”
But right or wrong I cannot let you go

So I’m taking a chance
Just a dream of romance
Always hoping it will come true
Though I may be a fool
Love’s a power that rules
Just to give life a different view

Other fellows warn me 
That your love often strays
The whole world seems against you 
For your changeable ways

Now all’s said and done
There’s goodness in everyone
So I’m taking a chance with you.
