verse 1 Across the street your smile broke, like a wave upon my face, you didn't notice me at all Across the street I saw you, with some other pretty face I loved you then, I love you now. I loved you then, I love you now I had to take a chance cos special moments only tend to happen now and then verse 2 I had to take my chance and grab the moment by it's ears, not be just some fly on your wall Had to take my chance there so I asked you out to dance there I loved you then, I love you now. I loved you then, I love you now I had to take a chance cos special moments only tend to happen now and then Chorus Live for the present it's the only one we have, nobody get's out of here alive Life in the future might never come to pass, you know good times are now, oh-oh, oh-oh Instrumental Bridge I loved you then, I love you now. I loved you then, I love you now I had to take a chance cos special moments only tend to happen now and then Live for the present it's the only one we have, nobody get's out of here alive Life in the future might never come to pass, you know good times are now, oh-oh verse 3 Across the street your smile broke, like a wave upon my face, you didn't notice me at all Across the street I saw you, with some other pretty face I loved you then, I love you now. I loved you then, I love you now I had to take a chance cos special moments only tend to happen now and then Outro You know good times are now
