When hearts are passing in the night, in the lonely night Then they must hold each other tight, oh, so very tight And take a chance that in the light, in tomorrow's light They'll stay together, so much in love
And in the silence of a mist, of a morning mist When lips are waiting to be kissed, longing to be kissed Where is the reason to resist and deny a kiss That holds a promise of happiness?
Though yesterday still surrounds you with a warm and precious memory Maybe for tomorrow we can build a new dream for you and me
This glow we feel is something rare, something really rare So come and say you want to share, want to really share The beauty waiting for us there, calling for us there That only loving can give the heart
When life is passing in the night, in the rushing night A man, a woman in the night, in the lonely night Must take a chance that in the light, in tomorrow's light They'll be together, so much in love Together, so much in love
So tell me
You're not afraid to take a chance, really take a chance Let your heart begin to dance, let it sing and dance To the music of a glance, of a fleeting glance To the music of romance, of a new romance Take a chance
