​fun. - The Gambler lyrics

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
And 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 our 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 complains
You think that I nearly lost you when
The doctors tried to take you away
Like the night you took my hand beside the
Fire thirty years ago to 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
You 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 dog
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
