Rick Steffen — Given Half A Chance lyrics

Lyrics

Jackie had stars in her eyes
And dreams that could last her forever
She thought she could find — the things that her mind
Had chosen A long time ago
Her visions of fortune and fame
Drove her to play all the games
With fools and with chance — but then romance
Came to her in such A strange way
Given half A chance — but she didn’T say
Given half A chance —
Her dreams had collided with love laid B4 her invain
… Sometimes our dreams — are stronger than feelings today
Jackie hid from life in her dreams
And slipped away from love in between
To A place filled with lies — & now in her eyes
Her emptyness is all one can see
And as the story unfolds — from youth til she’S wrinkled and old
She’Ll only find — as much as her mind-
Is willing to love and let go Given half A chance — what would she say
Would she still make — the choices she made yesterday
Sometimes our dreams — are stronger than feelings today
