Nervously I waited as my final card was dealt.
I would win her love I knew I could, so sure
inside I felt.
~
I grouped my cards together, looking left and
right. I know my Queen Of Hearts will fall
for me tonight
~
Life's a gamble, we all take. But i'll win her love
make no mistake. The stage is set, there's
not a sound. You could hear a pin drop,
upon the ground.
~
One chance in a million is all I get. Win or lose
I placed my bet. Well, I wound up with a
''Royal Straight Flush' when the game of love
was done. I did not fold on an inside draw,
and with my Queen Of Heart's, I won!
~
Life's a gamble people say. But it was worth the
risk I took this day. She is the only woman that I
ever longed for. The only one, I would ever choose.
With my Queen Of Heart's to hold tonight. How
could I ever lose...
