ONE MORE CHANCE

by Jacki Halton McAvoy

I walked away from love one day
From someone that I adored
I turned by back
I stepped away
Wanting never to love anymore

Love hurt my heart many times before
And I cried plenty of tears
But I'll hurt no more
Cause I'll love no more
And I will have nothing to fear

That's when you came into my life
And although I may have fled
You caught my heart with your loving touch
And that is when you said

Take one more chance at love
I'll make it worth your while
Take one more chance at love
With me you'll always smile
Let me hold you
Let me kiss you
Baby, depend on me
Take one more chance at love
Love me

I was afraid from the very start
Cause I'd heard those words before
Words of love whispered soft and clear
But words didn't matter anymore

Until you said

Take one more chance at love
I'll make it worth your while
Take one more chance at love
With me you'll always smile
Let me hold you
Let me kiss you
Baby, depend on me
Take one more chance at love
Love me

Now I know what true love means
Cause you bring me love each day
You changed my life
With you gentle touch
Now I'm so glad I can say

I took one more chance at love
You made it worth my while
I took one more chance at love
With you, I always smile
Oh I'll hold you
Then I'll kiss you
And you will depend on me
Cause I took one more chance at love
You love me
