If I were an only child
I would be a lonely child
but baby we've got nothing to lose
I'm standing tall in my own shoes
I'll take this chance
I'll make this choice
I'll right this wrong
I'll raise my voice
if it means
We'll be together
for a while
I have never had a doubt
But for you I'll take time out
I'll push his love far away from me
and then I'll be completely free
I'll give up my security
for just the possibility
that we could be together
for a while
If you said "Jump!" I'd say "How high?"
If you said "Run!" I'd run and fly
Just for the chance
Just for the moment
Should the moment pass us by
and if you ask once I'll tell you twice
I'll ignore the world's advice
if we could be together
for a while
I am taken by your strength
I've thought about it at great length
I thought that I was happy now
but there are things that I found out
Happiness means greater things
I'll sit here 'til that telephone rings
then we could be together
for a while
Wait'll I tell my guy (wait'll I tell)
Wait'll I tell my other friends
They'll all think I'm crazy-
and ya know what?
That depends...
'cause I'm crazy in love
with you
and everyone's best won't do
They'll say my hopes
will not come true
But I'm taking the chance
Because you only live once-
Only live once (only live once)
And...
If you said "Jump!" I'd say "How high?"
If you said "Run!" You know I'd fly
Just for the chance
Just for the moment
Should the moment pass us by
and if you ask once I'll tell you twice
I'll ignore the world's advice
if we could be together
for a while
There are no guarantees
but if it means
there's even a possibility
then I'll give up whatever it takes
I know I've made some mistakes before
It may be just another closed door
But we could be together
for a while
If you said "Jump!" I'd say "How high?"
If you said "Run!" I'd run and fly
Just for the chance
Just for the moment
Should the moment pass us by
Ask me once I'll tell you twice,
You know I'll ignore the world's advice
if we could be together
for a while
Don't you know that we could be together
for a while.
SHADES OF THE PAST
Red as the roses come
My love it never was
dark as the evening sky
We let love pass us by
I was caught in the middle
somewhere in the gray
Now it's time to leave that all behind
my uncertain yesterdays
Now it's black or white
Now it's wrong or right
I can't live without you here
Shades of the past are long gone
I've got one thing on my mind...
There's a choice to make
There'll be no mistake
The time has come around
I'm leaving no middle ground
...let my heart be the only sound
Pink is not red or white
but you brought me pink roses tonight
and I got to thinking to myself
oh the time is right
A promise is stronger
than a whisper
So I say "goodbye" to our yesterdays
and leave behind those shades of gray
...let my heart be the only, only sound
(black or white, wrong or right)
Oh there's a choice to make
There'll be no mistake
The time has come around
I'm leaving no middle ground
...let my heart be the only (only) sound
