(+) The Gambler



Slow down
weve got time left to be lazy
All the kids have bloomed
from babies into flowers
in our eyes
Weve got 50 good years left
to spend out in the garden
I dont care to
beg your pardon
We should live until we die

We were barely 18 when wed
crossed collective hearts
It was cold but it got warm
when youd barely
crossed my eye
and then you turned
put out your hand
and you asked me to dance
I knew nothing of romance
but it was love
at second sight

I swear when I grow up
I wont just buy you a rose
I will buy the flower shop
and you will never be lonely
Even if the sun
stops waking
up over the fields
I will not leave I will not
leave till its our time
So just take
my hand you know
that I will never
leave your side

It was the winter of 86 and
all the fields
had frozen over
So we moved to Arizona
to save our only son
and now hes
turning to a man
although he thinks just
like his mother
he believes were
all just lovers
he sees hope in everyone

And even though
she moved away
we always get calls
from our daughter
She has eyes just
like her fathers
they are blue
when skies are grey
And just like him
she never stops
Never takes
the day for granted
works for everything
thats handed to her
Never once complains

You think that
I nearly lost you
When the doctors tried
to take you away
But like the night you took
my hand beside the fire
30 years ago to this day
You swore youd be here til
we decide that its our time
Well its not time youve
never quit in all your life
So just take my hand
you know that Ill never
leave your side
Youre the love of my life
you know that Ill never
leave your side

You come home from work
and you kiss me on the eye
You curse the dogs and say
that I should never
feed them what is ours
So we move out
to the garden,
look at everything
we've grown
And the kids are coming
home so I'll set the table;
you can make the fire
