Lyrics
- When hearts are passing in the night
In the lonely night
Then they must hold each other tight
Oh, so very tight
And take a chance that in the light
In tomorrow’s light
They’ll stay together, so much in love - And in the silence of the mist
Of the morning mist
When lips are waiting to be kissed
Longing to be kissed
Where is the reason to resist
And deny a kiss
That holds a promise of happiness
Though yesterday still surrounds you
With a warm and precious memory
Maybe for tomorrow
We can build a new dream for you and me
This glow we feel is something rare
Something really rare
So come and say you want to share
Want to really share
The beauty waiting for us there
Calling for us there
That only loving can give the heart
When life is passing in the night
In the rushing night
A man, a woman in the night
In the lonely night
Must take a chance that in the light
In tomorrow’s light
They’ll be together, so much in love
Together, so much in love
So tell me you’re not afraid
To take the chance
Really take a chance
Let your heart begin to dance
Let it sing and dance
To the music of a glance
Of a fleeting glance
To the music of romance
Of a new romance take a chance
