Across the street your smile broke

Like a wave upon my face

You didn't notice me at all

Across the street I saw you

With some other pretty face

I loved you then I love you now

I loved you then I love you now

I had to take a chance

Cos special moments only tend

To happen now and then

I had to take my chance and

Grab the moment by its ears

Not be just some fly on your wall

Had to take my chance there

So I asked you out to dance there

I loved you then I love you now

I loved you then I love you now

I had to take a chance

Cos special moments only tend

to happen now and then

Live for the present

It's the only one we have

Nobody gets out of here...... alive

Life in the future might never come to pass

You know -- the good times are now
