Lyrics : Chance Of A Lifetime

One day, while I was out walking, I saw your face in the midst of a crowd
Here, I thought, is the chance of a lifetime, I thought you'd stepped from a cloud

Think of that wonderful meeting, oh... the sun shone down on us from above
Why should I be out walking that day and get the chance of a lifetime of love?

Show me the way you are feeling, always tell me just what I should know
Oh... a guiding hand must have brought us together, but now that seems so long ago

You are the one I have dreamt of, oh... I never thought my dreams would come true
All I want is the chance of a lifetime, the chance of a lifetime with you

Show me the way you are feeling, always tell me just what I should know
Oh... a guiding hand must have brought us together, but now that seems so long ago

You are the one I have dreamt of, I never thought my dreams would come true
All I want is the chance of a lifetime, the chance of a lifetime with you

All I want is the chance of a lifetime, the chance of a lifetime with you
