"I Take the Chance" Lyrics

(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...
