Let Love Stand a Chance
Bradley Charles Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

[Chorus]
All I’m asking
All I’m asking
Just give love
Love a chance

I’ve been thinking about you so long
But time just slip away
I wonder how your life has gone baby
Since I’ve been away

Can’t let it pass me by
Won’t let it pass me by
Not a single day baby
These words I’m tryin to say now

[Chorus]

I’ve been thinking what to say
If you walked through that door
All the walls we build around us
Let them fall to the floor

Can’t let it pass me by
Won’t let it pass me by
Not a single day baby
Uh baby

Oh baby
Can’t, oh baby

[Chorus]

All I’m asking
All I’m asking
Let’s give love
Love… baby




Just you and me baby
All night long

I saw this live, he went through the crowd and hugged everybody. So much love, bunch of people cried When he said to give love a chance, I told myself, I will. That was right before my first date with the girl who became my girlfriend. Give it a chance! Believe!

This song came out in 2013? Wow has that classic 70's smooth midnight love sound to it. Its great to hear music like this still being made.
