Chances
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
What if I never run into you?
What if you never smiled at me?
What if I hadn't noticed you too?
And you never showed up where I happened to be?
What's a girl like you doing in a place like this?
On a quiet night, what are the odds?
What's a guy like me doing in a place like this?
I could have just walked by, who would have thought?
What are the chances that we'd end up dancing?
Like two in a million, like once in a life
I could have found you, put my arms around you
Like two in a million, like once in a life
What are the chances?
What if I hadn't asked for your name?
And time hadn't stopped when you said it to me?
Of all of the plans that I could have made
Of all of the nights that I couldn't sleep
What's a girl like you doing in a place like this?
In a crowded room, what are the odds?
What's a guy like me doing in a place like this?
Getting close to you, but here we are
What are the chances that we'd end up dancing?
Like two in a million, like once in a life
I could have found you, put my arms around you
Like two in a million, like once in a life
What are the chances?
Is it love? Is it fate?
Who am I? Who's to say?
Don't know exactly what it means (ooh, yeah)
Is it love? Is it fate?
Where it leads, who can say?
Maybe you and I were meant to be
What, what
What are the chances that we'd end up dancing?
Two in a million, once in a life
That I could have found you, put my arms around you (my arms around you)
Two in a million (it's like two in a million), once in a life, yeah (oh)
What are the chances?
Two in a million, once in a life
What are the chances?
Two in a million, once in a life
What if I never run into you?
And what if you never smiled at me?
