A WHOLE LOT TO LOSE
copyright 2004 By Joan Martin & Jennifer Yax

The day my life changed I was just seventeen
You looked like an angel in cutoff jeans
And I caught your eyes following me
Remember at 2 a.m., how we would talk on the phone
Or sneak off at a party trying to be alone
I guess some things are just meant to be

I?ve got a whole lot to lose
A long way to fall
I?ll take the lows with the highs
Over nothing at all
I?ve been living and learning and loving life
Because of you
I?ve got a whole lot to lose

I almost miss when we both had 2 jobs
Drove that battered pickup ?til the bumper fell off
And our dinners came out of a can
At 2 a.m., we?d finally fall into bed
I?d pray for help but end up thankful instead
?Cause I?d look at you and understand

I?ve got a whole lot to lose
A long way to fall
I?ll take the lows with the highs
Over nothing at all
I?ve been living and learning and loving life
Because of you
I?ve got a whole lot to lose

At 2 a.m., I hear our little one cry
That child means more to me than my own life
I hope someday she?ll have what I?ve got

A whole lot to lose
A long way to fall
All the lows and the highs
Over nothing at all
?Cause I?ve been living and learning and loving life
And I?m so thankful and hopeful and happy inside
Because of you
I?ve got a whole lot to lose
