Second Chance Lyrics by El DeBarge

Second Chance

2010

Why should be just a memory
It's like a bell that keeps on ringing
Calling me

But I believe what I can see
And I can feel the warmth of love
Surrounding me

So tonight I lay me down to sleep
And pray my soul to keep
In that your love will rescue me
For the rest of my life

I live to say good bye
To all the promises left behind
Here we are you and I
A second chance

I have changed
(I have changed)
But take the blame
(Take the blame)

For all the words left and spoken through the pain
I played the game and lost and spayed
But I have cleansed myself by walking through the rain

So tonight I lay me down to sleep
And pray my soul to keep
In that your love will rescue me
For the rest of my life

I live to say good bye
To all the promises left behind
Here we are you and I
A second chance

If you listen there's a melody in how you live your life
(How you live your life)
You can write the song you want to hear
And I pray
(Pray)

To live mine
So in the mirror speaks
It tells me you have faced your inner fears
And in loving this song

So tonight I lay me down to sleep
And pray my soul to keep
In that your love will rescue me
For the rest of my life

I live to say good bye
To all the promises left behind
Here we are you and I

No, I'm not giving up
I am here to stay

A second chance
A second chance
A second chance
