TAKE A CHANCE
Engvick / Siegel

as rec by Anne Shelton  Dec 18th 1952


"Take a chance, take a chance, take a chance!",
Says the spell of the night.
"Do I dare, do I dare, do I dare?",
Says the doubt in my mind.
"This is love, this is love, this is love!",
Says the beat of my heart.

And it's all because of you;
Darling, this is what you do
When you come to me and take me in your arms.
Yes, it's all because of you;
Darling, this is what you do
When you hold me so close in your arms.

Kiss my eyes till they're wet with dew,
kiss my cheeks till they glow for you!
Kiss my lips till they're warm as wine
And the world will be mine!

"Take a chance, take a chance, take a chance!",
Says the spell of the night.
"Do I dare, do I dare, do I dare?",
Says the doubt in my mind.
"This is love, this is love, this is love!",
Says the beat of my heart.

So I'll take a chance with you,
Just because of what you do
When you come to me and take me in your arms.
Yes, I'll take a chance with you
Just because of what you do
When you hold me so close in your arms.
