Maybe There’s A Chance

The fruitless search for love

There is no ring upon your finger,

Does this mean there’s a chance?

Maybe a little dinner,

Heaven forbid, could there be some romance?

Could this be my lucky day,

Would you give me a second glance?

Unattached and looking for love,

Maybe there’s a chance?

I've never been that lucky in love,

And matters of the heart.

I need to get a grip and give myself a shove,

Wait, did you just look at me?

Was that a tiny spark of love?

Did I just see you smile, or am I going mad?

Could this be my lucky day, when I find love?

Maybe there's a chance?

Coffee gone, you are on the run,

Are you going to walk my way?

If I should smile when our eyes meet,

Will you go out with me one day?

My heart beats as you come toward me

Could this be my lucky day?

I guess not, you just walked right past,

Should have known there was no chance.

Is it so wrong to dream that there is someone,

To share some lovely thoughts?

A little bit of laughter,

Maybe affection of some sort?

My search is lean, no one to be seen,

I am really quite distraught,

I guess I'll just be alone again,

Maybe there is no chance at all …

Till next time,

Calvin
