If half of all the things you say, were true instead of lies

Then there'd be only half as many teardrops in my eyes

If half of all the dreams I dream, were ever to come true

Then in my heart I'd feel I had, A Half-way Chance With You.



If most of all the things I hear, were only half-way true

Then I'd be half-way happy dear and only half as blue

If You spent half the time with me, you spend with someone new

Then in my heart I'd feel I had, A Half-way Chance With You.



A half-way love is not enough, it's always kiss an run

I just can't fool my heart that way, I must have all, or none

If part-time love is all you want, or all you care to give

Why bother with the love at all, and only half-way live.



If some of all the tears that fall, were yours and not all mine

Then half the clouds would disappear and half the sun would shine

If things were only turned around and you were feelin' blue

Then in my heart I'd feel I had, A Half-way Chance With you
