Subject: hope floats
From: GUEST,M.A.P

Just watched the film -`Hope Floats` There are 2 lovely songs in it. The first when Sandra Bullock dances with her father in hospital and its something about `chances are` and the second one is when she is dancing with a man, and thats something about `evening shadows and stars appearing`. There is no reference to these songs in the credits. Does anyone know who the songs might be by and anymore details please. There are only snippets of the songs in the film.

From: katlaughing

Could it be this one by Johnny Mathis:

CHANCES ARE
Johnny Mathis
Words by Al Stillman and Music by Robert Allen

Peak position # 1 in 1957


Chances are 'cause I wear a silly grin
The moment you come into view
Chances are you think that I'm in love with you

Just because my composure sort of slips
The moment that your lips meet mine
Chances are you think my heart's your Valentine

        BRIDGE
        In the magic of moonlight when I sigh, "Hold me close, dear"
        Chances are you believe the stars that fill the skies are in my eyes

Guess you feel you'll always be the one and only one for me
And if you think you could
Well, chances are your chances are awfully good


        Chances are you believe the stars that fill the skies are in my eyes

Guess you feel you'll always be the one and only one for me
And if you think you could
Well, chances are your chances are awfully good

The chances are your chances are      awfully good

Nope, sorry, looks like that's not the one. According to this page at Amazon, it's something else. You can listen to a snippet of it and some of the others there. It has all of the artists' names listed, so that should help in identifying the other song, too.

Subject: Lyr Add: CHANCES ARE (Bob Seger)
From: Bullfrog Jones

'Chances Are' is a duet between Bob Seger and Martina McBride, written by Bob Seger. You may also have heard Robert Downey Jnr singing it in Ally McBeal. The other song you quote from is 'To Make You Feel my Love' which appears in two versions on the soundtrack album, by Garth Brooks and Trisha Yearwood. It's written by some bloke called Bob Dylan. I love the soundtrack, but I've never seen the film --- the C.D. is a relic from my days as a radio producer when I used to get them for free!
Here are the chords and lyrics:

CHANCES ARE

Verse 1:
Bb                Gm
Chances are you'll find me
          Eb          Bb
Somewhere on your road tonight
               Gm             F
Seems I always end up driving by
Bb             Gm
Ever since I've known you
       Eb               Bb
It just seems your on my way
                Gm          F
All the rules of logic don't apply
Eb       Cm             Bb
I long to see you in the night
Eb      Cm               Bb    F
Be with you till morning light.

Verse 2:
A          F#m             D                   A
I remember clearly how you looked the night we met
A             F#m               E
I recall your laughter and your smile
A          F#m             D          A
I remember how you made me feel so at ease
A          F#m                E
I remember all your grace your style
D            Bm            A
And now your all I long to see
D             Bm             E
You've come to mean so much to me

Chorus:
A                F#m               D            A
Chances are I'll see you somewhere in my dreams
tonight
A                F#m               E   D E
You'll be smiling like the night we met
A                F#m               D          A
Chances are I'll hold you and I'll offer all I have
D       Db   Bm    A    E
Your the only one I can't forget
D                            A
Baby your the best I've ever met

Bridge:
C#                         F#m
And I'll be dreaming of the future
C#                         F#m
And hoping you'll be by my side
Bm                     A
In the morning I'll be longing
D   A   E      C# Bm F#m E
For the night, for the night

End Chorus:
Bb                   Gm Eb                     Bb
Chances are I'll see you somewhere in my dreams
tonight
Bb                Gm                F   Eb F
You'll be smiling like the night we met
Bb               Gm                Eb          Bb
Chances are I'll hold you and I'll offer all I have
Eb       Dm7 Cm    Bb    F
Your the only one I can't forget
Eb                           Bb
Baby your the best I've ever met.

TO MAKE YOU FEEL MY LOVE

(Verse)

Ab -> Db                      Ab/C
        When the rain is blowing in your face
       Db7/Cb                       Gb/Bb
        And the whole world is on your case
        Gbmi/Bbb            Db/Ab
        I could offer you a warm embrace
        Eb9/Bb            Gb/Ab   Db
        To make you feel my love

(Verse)
When evening shadows and the stars appear
And there is no one there to dry your tears
I could hold you for a million years
To make you feel my love

(Bridge)

        Gb                            Db
        I know you haven't made your mind up yet
        Eb9/Bb            Gb                 Db
        But I would never do you wrong
        Gb                              Db
        I've known it from the moment that we met
        Eb7                              Ab
        No doubt in my mind where you belong

(Verse)
I'd go hungry I'd go black and blue
I'd go crawling down the avenue
No there's nothing that I wouldn't do
To make you feel my love

(instrumental)

(Bridge)
The storms are raging on the open seas
And on the highway of regret
The winds of change are blowing wild and free
You ain't seen nothing like me yet

(Verse)
I could make you happy make your dreams come true
Nothing that I wouldn't do
Go to the ends of the earth for you
To make you feel my love

   Ab Db Ab/C Db7/Cb Gb/Bb Gbmi/Bbb Db/Ab Eb9/Bb Gb/Ab Gb Eb7

Hey Kat, maybe the wrong one but God How I love that song when I was a teen, along with every other song Johnny Mathis recorded. Thanks Barry

Thanks Katlaughing and Bullfrog Jones for your help, especially to you Bullfrog for the words and chords. The film is well worth watching. I bought it reduced at my rent a video local, so now I am going to splash out on the soundtrack.
