Nothing to Lose
Embracing Life's Uncertainties: Nothing to Lose by Henry Mancini
Lyrics
Nothing to lose
There is no risk involved
If we are wise
If we are knowledgeable or sensible
We're not expecting rainbow-colored skies
We don't anticipate constant happiness or ideal situations
Not right away
Immediately or without delay
Nothing to lose
There is no risk involved
It might be fun
It could be enjoyable or pleasurable
No talk of spending lifetimes in the sun
No discussion about spending entire lives in perfect conditions
Although we may
Even though it is possible
Both you and I have seen what time can do
Both individuals have experienced the effects of time
We'll only hurt ourselves if we build dreams that don't come true
It's self-destructive to invest in dreams that may never materialize
What can we lose
What is the potential loss
We know the score
We understand the situation or circumstances
Let's wait before we talk of evermore
Let's refrain from discussing eternity until later
One day we may
In the future, it might be possible
Nothing to lose
There is no risk involved
But much to gain if love decides to stay
But there is much to gain if love chooses to remain
[repeat the last three sections]
[repeat of the previous sentiments]
Nothing to lose
There is no risk involved
