I Take the Chance

(Charlie Louvin - Ira Louvin)



I take the chance

To lose my soul, my life, my pride

I take the chance

To be with you.



I've tried to live

My life the best I can

I've prayed I'd never cheat

To heed my heart's command.



But dear you know

To one I've been untrue

I wonder if you think

I'd do the same by you.



I take the chance

Of causing you to doubt my love

I take the chance

To be with you.



--- Instrumental ---



I know it's wrong

For us to steal a kiss

But when you hold me

In your arms I can't resist.



I have a home

And someone kind and true

I know I'd lose it all

If I was seen with you.



I take the chance

To lose my soul my life my pride

I take the chance

To be with you...
