Chances Are
Vonda Shepard;Robert Downey Jr. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Somewhere on your road tonight
Seems I always end up driving by
Ever since I've known you
It just seems you're on my way
All the rules of logic don't apply
I long to see you in the night
I remember clearly how you looked
The night we met
I recall your laughter and your smile
I remember how you made me
Feel so at ease
I remember all your grace, your style
And now you're all I long to see
You've come to mean so much to me
Chances are I'll see you
Somewhere in my dreams tonight
You'll be smiling like the night we met
Chances are I'll hold you and I'll offer
All I have
You're the only one I can't forget
Baby you're the best, I've ever met
And I'll be dreaming of the future
And hoping you'll be by my side
And in the morning I'll be longing
For the night, for the night
Chances are I'll see you
Somewhere in my dreams tonight
You'll be smiling like the night we met
Chances are I'll hold you and I'll offer
All I have
You're the only one I can't forget
Baby you're the best I've ever met

@ScarSick85
I can't stop listening...you know, I started watching Ally Mcbeal again a couple of months ago...it's what helped me keep my sanity cause it brought back so many warm memories! I haven't got the strength to watch the very last episode though... It's like saying goodbye to another family you've spent so much time with!
