Lyric

Here I go again, I hear those trumpets blow again

All aglow again, takin' a chance on love

Here I slide again, about to take that ride again

Starry-eyed again, takin' a chance on love

I thought that cards were a frame-up

I never would try

But now I'm takin' that game up

And the ace of hearts is high

Things are mending now

I see a rainbow blending now

We'll have our happy ending now, takin' a chance on love

I'm takin' a chance on love

Takin' a chance on love

I never dreamed in my slumbers

And bets were taboo

But now I'm playin' the numbers

On a little green for two

Takin' a chance on love

Takin' a chance, one chance

Takin' a chance on love

- It's already the end -
