I gambled all my life,
looking for the Big Win.
I rolled the dice,
shuffled the cards,
spun the wheel,
looking for the Big Win.
Gambling, gambling,
endlessly,
looking for the Big Win.
Then I found you,
the Big Win
I was dreaming of
and gambling for,
and looking for
my whole life through.
What a prize,
what a gift,
what a win,
what an accomplishment,
This dream, my dream,
it had finally come true,
but wait,
if I was this lucky,
surely I could win even more,
lucky as I be,
my ship coming in.
So I laid this prize,
my prize I won,
this prize you,
on the table.
All chips,
my every winnings
I won in you.
I risked it all
in the hopes
of winning even bigger.
I rolled the dice,
but my luck ran dry,
and I lost you,
and don't know why,
I could not take the prize I won,
and walk with you into the Sun
set of our day, this we together,
where we belonged.
The moral of the story is,
if you find your dreams come true,
value them and hold them close to you,
and fight to keep them with your life,
or pay in tears and your hearts strife.
So dare not gamble with a love so true,
once found, in heart, shown to you.
