The Gambler Lyrics - Fun.

Slow down, we've got time left to be lazy 

All the kids have bloomed from babies into flowers in our eyes 

We've got fifty good years left to spend out in the garden 

I don't care to beg your pardon, we should live until we die 

We were barely eighteen when we crossed collective hearts 

It was cold, but it got warm when you barely crossed my eye 

Then you turned, put out your hand, and you asked me to dance 

I knew nothing of romance, but it was love at second sight 

I swear when I grow up I won't just buy you a rose 

I will buy the flower shop, and you will never be lonely 

For even if the sun stops waking up over the fields 

I will not leave, I will not leave 'til it's on time 

So just take my hand, you know that I will never leave your side 

It was the winter of '86, all the fields had frozen over 

So we moved to Arizona to save our only son 

And now he's turned into a man, though he thinks just like his mother 

He believes we're all just lovers, he sees hope in everyone 

And even though she moved away, we always get calls from our daughter 

She has eyes just like her father's, they are blue when skies are gray 

And just like him she never stops, never takes the day for granted 

Works for everything that's handed to her, never once complained

You think that I nearly lost you when the doctors tried to take you away 

But like the night you took my hand beside the fire thirty years ago 

'Til this day, you swore you'd be here 'til we decide that it's our time 

But it's not time, you never quit in all your life 

So just take my hand and know that I will never leave your side 

You're the love of my life, you know that I will never leave your side 

You come home from work, and you kiss me on the eye 

You curse the dogs, you say that I should never feed them what is ours 

So we move out to the garden, look at everything we've grown 

And the kids are coming home so I'll set the table; you can make the fire
