Lightning in a Bottle

Jimmy Webb

[Verse 1]
I've never believed in the luck of the draw
Or depended too much on fate
But being with you makes a believer of me
I only hope it's not too late

[Chorus]
All I have to do is catch some lightnin' 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, love
Well it's all I need

[Verse 2]
It's easy to care, for someone like you
But so hard to know just what to do
So I'm sayin' a prayer and I'm crossing my fingers
How else do I make a dream come true, baby?

[Chorus]
All I have to do is catch some lightnin' 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

[Spoken] Startin' to get it, right?

[Bridge]
Baby, did you ever try to hold a dream in your mind
After waking to find
The pictures fading in the shadows
Like you were slowly goin' blind?

[Verse 3]
Well that's just how I feel, tonight leavin' you
I can't stand for this 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, baby

[Chorus]
All I have to do is catch some lightnin' 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

[Spoken] Okay, sing it with me
All I have to do is catch some lightning in a bottle
(Music stops)
(Audience laughs)
[Spoken] I don't know, I don't know, I've heard people representin' about Wales - I don't know, I'm not - anyway... I'll give you a second chance. Alright
One, two, three, four...

[Sung by Jimmy Webb and audience]
All I have to do is catch some lightnin' 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
[Spoken] Everybody...
Well it's all I need!
