I Took A Chance

I saw the cliff and dangle on it's edge,
My heart pounded as I stood on the ledge.
I knew not what laid in the depth below,
In order to find out I had to let go.
Desperately I hanged on for all I was worth.
I gave every excuse known on this earth.
Letting go was just not the option I wanted.
Still the beauty below continously taunted.

He whispered promises I longed to hear.
He talked me through every excuse or fear.
He promised I had nothing to fear in falling.
To my soul his sweet voice kept calling.
"I got you baby! I will always have you."
"Trust this baby. Please believe in love true."
I listened, made more excuses and then I closed my eyes.
Then I jumped hoping it is not all lies.

For the first time I took a wild chance.
I will rock no more but freely dance.
As I fall into the mystery of this experience, quite new...
I hope it is truly an adventure for two.
I have a vision of two hearts forever entwined.
And pray that our stars are forever aligned.

I took a chance and let go...
I let go for you just so you know..

Marchmadness03 don't you wish love and relationship was like shopping on a busy day? You go in knowing exactly what you want; grab it, cash and dash right out! I do! Oh, how I wish it was!

I used to go to Fenley's Bluff on the Wisconsin side of the Mississippi by Kieler, Wisconsin. It was about two hundred feet up, I almost fell off it when my friend reminded me I was too close to the edge. I have missed out on some good women because I was too afraid to take that jump, and I've crashed on the rocks below quite a few times too!daydream dance

Mcradloff I have little tolerance for pain so the crashing part is as intimidating as standing before a loaded gun for me hun.

took an ale
have a tale
swing that tail

you go and try
no harm in trying
pain if u get hurt
but when it comes true ......

that feeling of love and care
nobody tells you its cool
good luck and break eggs
and tell us the good news soonheart beating
