Big Love

Big Love

Big love. Big risk.
Big hurt to be alone like this.
Brokenhearted in the rain.
I placed a bet. What did I get?
A world of pain.

Now I’m waiting on the roof to be rescued
After the storm’s gone through.
Big love. You choose.
But if you lose, the damage big love can do.
The damage big love can do.

Big plans fall short,
And all your dreams end up in court.
Confidence goes down the drain.
I’m not the first, won’t be the last,
To love in vain.

Now I’m looking back
In twenty-twenty hindsight
At all the big mistakes I made.
Big love. Bad breaks.
Hard luck. Heartaches.
That’s how the game is played.

But oh, now that we are through,
I see how high we flew.
What am I to do without you?

Big loss. Big win.
I’m a big boy now so deal me in.
’Cause I know how love can feel.
And when it’s big, and when it’s real,
It’s a real big deal.
So I’m knocking on your door again
To ask you,
What could we have been thinking of?
Big pain. Big deal.
Big hurt can heal.
Remember our big, big love.

So let’s take another chance -
I know we’ll make it.
And make it better than it ever was.
We’re meant to be. It’s destiny.
’Cause that’s how it is with love.
Big love.
Believe in our big, big love.
Big love.

This song appears on Tom Chapin's The Turning Of The Tide CD.
