Chances Are - Johnny Mathis

All of my heroes sit up straight They stare at the ground They radiate Me, I'm mumbling in the kitchen for the sun to pay up Lonely is a ring on a cold coffee cup I'm some sick hound Digging for bones If it weren't for second chances, we'd all be alone My hands they were strangers lost in the night They're waving around in the dusty light I'm waiting in the wings while the trees undress Cupping my ear to hear the wind confess I'm a ghost in the garden Scaring the crows If it weren't for second chances, we'd all be alone I'm running from nothing, no thoughts in my mind Oh my heart was all black But I saw something shine Thought that part was yours, but it might just be mine I could share it with you, if you gave me the time I'm all bloody knuckles, longing for home If it weren't for second chances, we'd all be alone I'm a shot through the dark I'm a black sinkhole If it weren't for second chances, we'd all be alone

You only feel it when it's lost Gettin' through still has a cost Quietly, it slips through your fingers, love Falling from you, drop by drop What I had left here I just held it tight So someone with your eyes Might come in time To hold me like water Or Christ, hold me like a knife We're born at night So much to the lives Is just carvin' through the dark To get so far And the hardest part Is who we are It's who we are You and I burned out our steam Chasing someone else's dream How can somethin' be so much heavier But so much less than what it seems? Darling, we sacrificed We gave our time to somethin' undefined This phantom life sharpens like an image But it sharpens like a knife We're born at night So much of our life Is just carvin' through the dark To get so far And the hardest part Is who we are That's who we are You only feel it when it's lost Gettin' through still has its cost Quietly, it slips through your fingers, love Fallin' from you, drop by drop

Are you ok? Been starin' at you face, from across the room now You seem out of place It's a new day, the people know your name They smile when they see you So why the long face? Oh, oh Back on my shit, my bullshit that is It feels so good to hold you, in my arms We both know it's wrong I sing these songs, it's therapy you need Need to, see right through you Like you see through me Me and my niggas gettin' paper Highly blessed and highly favored We ain't askin' for no favors In Cali smokin' hella flavors Me and my niggas gettin' paper Highly blessed and highly favored We ain't askin' for no favors We in Cali smokin' hella flavors Sweet Emily, my bride-to-be Struggle with me, financially Aye, ya, ya, Aye, ya, ya Aye, ya, ya, Aye, ya, ya Chef boy, y'all see Still cookin' up trouble like woe is me I know I piss my girl off but oh Heaven, why'd she leave me? Why'd she leave me? The chef boy, y'all see Still cookin' up trouble like woe is me This shit ain't easy I know I piss my girl off but oh Heaven, why'd she leave me? I watch the snow melt, slowly day by day Green nights past it all melted it away I know it will return and while things they have changed It's best it stays the same, old things always Emily please don't be my enemy You were such a friend of me I'm sorry for my energy I'm sorry for my-, rest assured The day I won't be, insecure You deserve the world to know Next time I knock at your door Next time I knock- (Ay, ya, ya, ya)

Here we are, once again Stronger now than we have ever been Hand in hand, heart to heart Now we've made it through the hardest part We had to break it all down To build it back up Lean on each other when the times got rough How'd we survive going through so much? Baby, you and I could write a book about love Here we are, one to one Looking back to see how far we've come We've shared it all, you and I And still together after all this time We had to break it all down To build it back up Lean on each other when the times got rough How'd we survive going through so much? Baby, you and I could write a book about love Here we are, once again We're stronger now than we have ever been We're hand in hand We're heart to heart Oh, here we are (here we are) Here we are Hmm, here we are Hmm, here we are, here we are

Oh darling I want to be everything to you Today I saw somebody Who looked just like you He walked like you do I thought it was you As he turned the corner I called out your name I felt so ashamed When it wasn't you Wasn't you You are everything And everything is you Oh, you are everything And everything is you 'Cause you are everything And everything is you How can I forget When each face that I see Brings back memories Of being with you I just can't go on Living life as I do Comparing each girl with you Knowing they just won't do They're not you 'Cause you are everything And everything is you Oh, you are everything And everything is you You are everything And everything is you
