Love can be so forgiving
As long as you're in love
It's not to be taken lightly
It's been known to get the better part of me
With a little time
Consciousness will free me
Gonna lose my mind
What's better for me
And then time can be so forgiving
But only for so long
My heart's been beating out of time
I can not find the rhythm in our love
Don't you like to dance
That's not what I'm asking for
Come on, take a chance
It's waiting for you
Don't take your love away
Yeah, I know I've got a tender heart
What does it mean to you to say
Only a breath away
Opportunity creates the chance
Chances are for taking
In the making of experience
A new romantic's heart could be breaking
With a little time
Consciousness will free me
Love is on the line
What's better for you
I know that you won't wait here forever
As long as you're in love
It's not to be taken lightly
It's been known to get the better part of me
With a little time
Consciousness will free me
Gonna lose my mind
What's better for me
And then time can be so forgiving
But only for so long
My heart's been beating out of time
I can not find the rhythm in our love
Don't you like to dance
That's not what I'm asking for
Come on, take a chance
It's waiting for you
Don't take your love away
Yeah, I know I've got a tender heart
What does it mean to you to say
Only a breath away
Opportunity creates the chance
Chances are for taking
In the making of experience
A new romantic's heart could be breaking
With a little time
Consciousness will free me
Love is on the line
What's better for you
I know that you won't wait here forever
