[Spoken:]
|
You can gamble for match sticks, you can gamble for gold
|
The stakes may be heavy or small
|
But if you haven't gambled for love and lost
|
You haven't gambled at all
|
|
They call me a moonlight gambler
|
I've gambled for love and lost
|
When I gamble for love and it isn't in the cards
|
Oh, what heartaches it can cost me
|
|
Win or lose, I'm a moonlight gambler
|
And a winner is what I long to be
|
So I'll gamble for love just as long as I live
|
Till the day Lady Luck smiles at me
|
|
You can gamble for match sticks
|
You can gamble for gold
|
The stakes may be heavy or small
|
But if you haven't gambled for love and lost
|
Then you haven't gambled at all
|
|
No, if you haven't gambled for love in the moonlight
|
Then you haven't gambled at all
|
|
So I'll gamble for love just as long as I live
|
Till the day Lady Luck smiles at me
|
|
They call me the moonlight gambler
|
They call me the moonlight gambler
|
