CHANCE OF A LIFETIME
WELL, I HAPPENED ON THIS PRETTY FACE
SHE HAD A NICE SMILE AND A LOTTA GRACE
SO I, I SAID “HELLO”
SHE “HI”ED ME BACK, AND IN ONE MINUTE
KINDA GOT A TUG THAT THIS COULD BE IT
THE EMBERS, BEGAN TO GLOW
FUNNY HOW A SIMPLE CONVERSATION
TURNED INTO SOME GRAND DESIGN
THANK THE LORD FOR COMMON SENSE
FOR TELLING ME I’D EXPERIENCED
THIS CHANCE, OF A LIFETIME
WAKE UP BOY, NIGHT OR DAY
YA NEVER KNOW WHATTA MIGHTA PASS YOUR WAY
THE CLUES, OR ANY SIGN
GETS REAL CLEAR WHEN YOU’RE LOOKING BACK
THE MOVIE REELS OF THE ROADS AND TRACKS
AND DRIVING, UPON THAT LINE
COUNT ‘EM UP, ALL THE INVITATIONS
HUNDREDS SPREAD OUT IN A TRAIL BEHIND
THOSE “MIGHTA BEENS” KEEP ADDING UP
BETTER TAKE A DRINK FROM THE LIVING CUP
THIS CHANCE, OF A LIFETIME
OH NO, PREOCCUPATION
NEVER DID SEE ANY FISH THAT GOT AWAY
OH NO, NO CONSOLATION
BY PASSING ALL THE CHANCES EVERY DAY
Hey,
Were those lyrics for me? Simple conversation was how it all started for Jim and me. I’m trying not to pass all the chances every day.
Thanks, and love to all the Savoys past and present.
Hey Mary,
I thought those lyrics were for me. Although as a songwriter, I’m also kinda hoping they’re written for about 6 billion other folks as well.
And lots of love back.
Your Bro-in-law forever,
Tom
