Something for the ever-hopeful in romance.  

................................................................

Nearly never made it to that dance the other night

Nearly stayed at home again - alone and out of sight

So glad I went and found you there

And found again that I could care

This loser's heart was still so sore

From all the hurt it had before

REFRAIN

You looked at me and in your eyes

I saw a stare of wild surprise

Everything stood still and then

You smiled - and love began again.

 

Nearly never made it to your side the other night

Nearly lost the nerve to think that life could turn out right

So glad I did and took a chance

And found love waiting for a dance

When I saw you in that crowd

This heart began to beat out loud

REPEAT REFRAIN

 

Nearly never made it to that dance the other night

Nearly stayed at home again - alone and out of sight

So glad I went and found you there

And found a dream that I could share

When I took you by the hand

This heart was beating (alt. singing) with the band

REPEAT REFRAIN
