Captured my heart Captured my memory Captured a time for me I could see A time for me Is gonna be Deep in my heart Deep in my memory Deep in a part of me Heart of me Meant to be history Could it be that I'm still wondering I never knew what had happened to me I didn't think it was true That I could be just like anyone else I'll take my chance with you Picture a dream Picture a fantasy Picture a mood of me Mystery you and me a mystery Lost in a dream Lost in a fantasy Lost in what seemed to be Dreams to be Seemed to be Had to be Couldn't find no other reason I never knew what had happened to me I didn't think it was true That I could be just like anyone else I'll take my chance with you Lets have a drink It's Marguerita time It's Marguerita time After nine Summer time Any time You'll still always find me wondering I never knew what had happened to me I didn't think it was true That I could be just like anyone else I'll take my chance with you
