Nothing to Lose

Nothing To Lose

Twenty first year, the end of June

Sitting beneath the summer moon

You passed by, you caught my eye

I had nothing, so I had nothing to lose

The crowd went on and on for miles

We walked in circles until we found

A place to sit and talk, in that old pole barn

I didn’t know you, so I had nothing to lose

And oh, the tension was so thick, a knife would cut right through

And in that moment I could see a new life with you

We were new to love, so we had nothing to lose

Three days passed, no word from you

I had done all I could do

It was out of my hands, I had no other plans

I thought I had lost you, and I had nothing more to lose

You came so quickly to my life

I never thought we would survive

You gave me room to breathe, you gave me time to think

But I knew I was lost without you

And you were all I had to lose

And oh, the tension was so thick, a knife would cut right through

And in those days I knew I’d found a new life with you

We were new to love, so we had nothing to lose

Life has its share of pain, but I know you’ll be there

To share in my heights of joy and depths of despair

But nothing is so precious in the life I have with you

As the day I said, “I do” and you replied, “I do, too.”

And oh, the passion is so thick, a knife would cut right through

And even after all these years, it’s never been more true

I’m nothing without you, so I have nothing to lose
