"Taking a Chance on Love" — Vernon Duke's 1940 return to romance.
Writer(s): latouche/fetter/duke
Here I go again
I hear those trumpets blow again
All aglow again
Taking a chance on love
Here I slide again
About to take that ride again
Starry eyed again
Taking a chance on love
I thought that cards were a frame-up
I never would try
Now Im taking that game up
And the ace of hearts is high
Things are mending now
I see a rainbow blending now
Well have a happy ending now
Taking a chance on love
Here I slip again
About to take that trip again
I got that grip again
Taking a chance on love
Now I prove again
That I can make life move again
Im in a grove again
Taking a chance on love
I walk around with a horseshoe
In clover I lie
And brother rabbit of course you
Better kiss your foot good-bye
On that ball again
Im riding for a fall again
Im gonna give my all again
Taking a chance on love
