The Lottery Ticket

If all we had was each other Would that be enough for you To stay with me be my honeybee Just you for me and me for you If all our possessions and material things were gone Would I alone be enough to hang on Could you love me poor with my pride in doubt Or would you find a way out I hold the lottery ticket in my hand It's everything I dreamt or dare to plan So why do I not tell you Am I afraid it could reveal you Is happiness things we can't afford Is it human nature to long for more What if we could have anything Would love survive the strain If all we had were each other Would that be enough for me To stay with you and be your sweet baboo Just me for you and you for me No one really wins the lottery No one stays the same winning the lottery Six numbers randomly picked I place in your hand the lottery ticket

The questions a winning ticket would bring. maybe more trouble, maybe not. Love is sweeter than fancy cars, but you are right no one stays the same winning the lottery.
