Lightning In A Bottle

(album: Light Years - 1988)

Well I've never believed in the luck of the draw
Or depended too much on faith
But being with you makes a believer of me
And I only hope it's not too late

All I have to do is catch some lightning in a bottle
There's just one little miracle that has to succeed
All I have to do is take a walk out on the water
If there's only one chance in a million, to have you
Well it's all I need

It's easy to care for someone like you
But so hard to know just what to do
So I'm saying a prayer, and I'm crossing my fingers
How else do I make it all come true?

All I have to do is catch some lightning in a bottle
There's just one little miracle that has to succeed
All I have to do is take a walk out on the water
If there's only one chance in a million, to have you
Well it's all I need

Did you ever try to hold a dream in your mind
And then waken to find
The pictures fading in the shadows
Like you were slowly going blind?

Well that's just how I feel, tonight leaving you
I can't stand for the dream to fade
If it makes me a fool, to wish on a star
Then it's not the worse mistake I've ever made

All I have to do is catch some lightning in a bottle
There's just one little miracle that has to succeed
All I have to do is take a walk out on the water
If there's only one chance in a million, to have you
Well it's all I need
Well it's all I need
