The Ace of Diamonds

Music by Andrew potter
Lyrics by Wheeler cole

I often wonder if you / think about me?
As I float down this lazy river
Regretting how I lost your hand
not sure a gambler’s woman could understand

The Ace of Diamonds beat the Queen of my heart
I bought it, I broke it; I missed the best part 
On the way down Hell! I cashed it all in
Lost your heart betting I’d win.

empty whiskey glass soggy cigarettes 
know where the chips fall or don’t make that bet
One card, two card
then the ace of diamonds
And I felt my poor heart fold

Try to bluff a blind man with a blank look
eyed me up and down read me like a book 
always keep the ace close to the vest
you were a royal flush wearing a dress.

then I caught you smirking knew I’d been made.
For good, for keeps that’s how the game is played
Now, dating no one but this bottle of gin
I lost your heart betting I’d win.

liquor in my glass taste like regret
I’m sorry Baby I ain’t over you yet.
One card,  two card
then the ace of diamonds
And I felt my poor heart fold

One card,
the ace of diamonds
