Words and Music © 1986 by John Tabacco and Nick DiMauro
Published by It Iz What It Iz Music (SESAC)

A sensative adult contempory ballad for all you hopeless romantics and sentimental types.

The basic chord progression of the hook was one that came from an early Chris Pati AKAI tune called "I've Got A Feeling This Is It". I changed one chord and jokingly played it for Nick who was instantly inspired. He wrote this song pretty quickly and I helped with some lyrics. The next day, I took the same chord progressions and wrote the mish mash "Dark Clouds". A year or two later the same chord progression (this time in a different key) showed up in the Gian DiMauro / Tabacco collaboration "If I Had A Dollar".

Cheryl Palisi sang the duet with Nick. All 3 of us sang back ups in my sister's room (no sampling for us), Nick plays the memorable Juno 106 synth solo and Jerry plays acoustic guitar. Take Another Chance On Love was yet another mixture of tape machine and computer. We still didn't have enough tracks! God, that PF70 has a great sound but it's so noisy.

lyrics

TAKE ANOTHER CHANCE ON LOVE

We’ve been working it out all night
We struggle through the hurtful words to find an answer
Now you’re telling you’re all right
But something else is in my ear
I pray to God that what I hear is...

So we’re taking the time to talk together
As if to show how much we care
Are we gonna hang on or break away?

Well I know that you want your space
I guess I’m falling to the touch of sweet temptation
Now I’m willing to slow the pace
But only if you compromise
And swear you’ll never leave my side

You have always been there to soothe my madness
Though at times you’d let me slide
Can the two of us stop our selfish ways

Should we take another chance on love
It’s all we have in the end
Take another chance on love or say it’s over
Is it written in the stars above that we could make it my friend
