Stack Your Cards Well

Nothing stays the same, when you play this game Knowing where you stand, as you play your hand Fighting for what's right, crying through the night Talking long and hard, as you play your cards Trying to get through, when you're feeling blue Smiling with a frown, lay your cards face down Take a chance on fate, say good bye to hate Thinking what the heck, as you fold the deck Everything's a game of chance You may win or lose in romance Life is never so certain at all Stack your cards well so they don't fall Hold on to your hope, as your safety rope Run fast with the pack, lose out to a Jack Dig in deep to win, there's no finishing Wanting your life back, shuffling the pack Loving hard at night, hoping things are right Draw an inside straight, before it gets too late Giving it your all, waiting for the fall Keeping poker faced, play the queen win ace Ace of clubs not for me Queen of Hearts watch your back King of Diamonds maybe Where's the Joker in the pack.... Everything's a game of chance You may win or lose in romance Life is never so certain at all Stack your cards well so they don't fall Stack your cards well so they don't fall..... Jane Shields (C)
