PARLAY
DAVE THE POET

The kind of love we got, Nobody gets
They were not there, When we first met
One walks away, The other comes and gets
Troubled times, No regrets
The long shot, Picked the favorite
Parlayed, To win the bet

When I first saw you, It was love at first sight
If only we could meet, Days would never turn to night
You got in a boat, Headed out to sea
Just about sunset, You sailed back home to me
Sweet summer sundress, Feet in the sand
Jackie O glasses, Hollywood tan
You looked like a million, Sipping ice tea
No man alive, Could resist your beauty
All day long, We make love all night
Passions, Lives and breathes
In the heartbeat of a man and wife

Drunk with love, Sober on lust
‘Til death do us part, In God we trust
When you’re wrong, Doesn’t mean I’m right
Sacrifice is the glue, That bonds married life
Will our kids, Take after you or me
Expect every branch to be different, On the family tree
As my bones start to creak, I feel my age
College, Weddings, Grand-kids
Quickly, Life turns the page
Every dream I had, Was always within reach
‘Cause I fell in love with you
On that sunny, Sandy beach
The kind of love we got, Nobody gets
The long shot, Picked the favorite
Parlayed, To win the bet
