both pick cards together We will make a winning hand All faces, diamonds and aces I’ll be the king at your command Pick a card, you select Heart, Diamond, Club, or Spade Together for now or if you wish The feelings never will fade But existence is not a card game Not tea leaves, stars or lucky charms Our lifeline is not upon our hands But within each other’s arms Pick a card, if you don’t like it Go ahead and draw again The card will be your link to me Your real ace, your heart, your ten So pick a card, any card If it’s an ace or a lowly two The cards all really mean the same They say I’m dreaming, just waiting for you (Poem by William N Thompson, in William N Thompson and Anthony Juliano, Heart Lines and Lyrics 2003 Bloomington, IN: First Books Library, p. 11) ix www.Ebook777.com
