Take a chance



That moment, I caught your eye
You know you took me, by surprise
I saw you smile, when you looked at me
Your soul so soft, so kind so sweet
 
So come over, and dance with me
Come on over, take a chance with me
 
Come on over, squeeze through the crowd
We can’t talk here, cos its too loud
We can carve our names, into a tree
Now that I’ve found you, you can find me
 
Your hips in my hand gave my soul a place to land
Gave me this feeling I may never understand
The fragrant night and my delight to have you to hold
I love your mind, the way you move and most of all I love your soul
