OPPORTUNITY KNOCKS
(Warren Boutros, Jon D'Agostino)
 
Ooh I see you standing there, like Mona Lisa in the moonlight
And all I can do is stare
Wish you knew just how I feel
I keep diving for the right words, and coming up for air
Then suddenly you look my way, suddenly I start to pray
Suddenly it's time to take a shot
 
CHORUS:
And opportunity knocks, with a wink and a smile
And a "what do you say you and I go out sometime
Friday night, I'll pick you up at eight"
Opportunity knocks, holding hands, as we laugh
And we sit down share a box of your gummy bears
The lights go dim, I give those lips a taste
When opportunity knocks
 
A few years later, going strong, got the mood right, in the moonlight
Dancing to sweet love songs
Music stops and time stands still, my heart is racing, anticipating
I wonder if you will
Say that you will always be, in love with me eternally
It's hard to keep my cool when you're so hot
 
CHORUS:
And opportunity knocks, when I drop to my knee
With a new diamond ring and ask you if you'll be
My better half, forever right by my side
Opportunity knocks, standing face to face
You in silk and lace, me in black tie and tail
And everybody showers us with rice
When opportunity knocks
 
BRIDGE:
Seems like these days we run so fast, like life is ours to win
Let's slow it down, and make it last, it's time to just sleep in
 
CHORUS:
Then opportunity knocks, with a wink and a smile
And a "what do you say you and I
Turn down the lights"
And find the time to act like kids again
Opportunity knocks, when you play hard to get,
Lay a kiss on my neck and pull me neath' the sheets
We fall asleep, wake up and start again
When opportunity knocks,
Opportunity knocks
