By Chance

BY CHANCE - Written by Carroll Bryant

I can't believe

That you are going out with him

What can you see

In a man with eyes of stone?

And it breaks my heart

To know that I would

Give to you the world

By chance to be with you

My beautiful girl

I can't believe

That you would touch and kiss him

What can you see

In a man with skin so cold?

And it breaks my heart

To know that you

Belong with me in my world

By chance to spend my life with you

My beautiful girl

I have run to you many a night

And held you close to me

Spent a million lifetimes

With you inside my dreams

 Never to deny you the sky

Love floats like clouds

Always to escape with you

Inside eternal bliss

I have kissed your lips

Before the presence of the moon

Spent a million wishes

Wishing for the love of you

Never to believe 

That this is not what we're to do

Always to escape outside

The heart that beats so true

In you

Only in you

And it breaks my heart

To always feel alone

Without you inside my world

By chance to dance with eternity with you

My beautiful girl

And all I want to be

Is you right here with me

With you inside my world

My beautiful girl
