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
