Lyrics

[00:00.48] Moonlight Gambler
[00:12.84] You can gamble for match sticks,
[00:14.33]
[00:15.90] you can gamble for gold.
[00:16.83]
[00:17.95] The stakes may be heavy or small.
[00:19.64]
[00:21.13] But if you haven't gambled for love and lost,
[00:22.89]
[00:24.32] You haven't gambled at all.
[00:25.38]
[00:27.70] So they call me a moonlight gambler.
[00:33.18]
[00:35.12] Well, I've gambled for love and lost.
[00:40.00]
[00:42.43] When I gamble for love but it isn't in the cards,
[00:48.54]
[00:50.36] Oh, what heartaches it can cost me.
[00:55.60]
[00:56.85] Win or lose, I'm a moonlight gambler,
[01:02.78]
[01:04.78] And a winner is what I long to be.
[01:09.41]
[01:11.48] So I'll gamble for love just as long as I live,
[01:18.53]
[01:19.34] Till the day Lady Luck smiles down on me.
[01:23.77]
[01:26.08] Well, you can gamble for match sticks,
[01:30.26] You can gamble for gold.
[01:33.07]
[01:34.51] Stakes may be heavy or small.
[01:38.31]
[01:41.56] But if you haven't gambled for love and lost,
[01:47.36]
[01:48.86] Well, then you haven't gambled at all.
[01:54.10]
[01:55.60] No, if you haven't gambled for love in the moonlight,
[02:03.71] Then you haven't gambled at all.
[02:07.66]
[02:09.96] So I'll gamble for love just as long as I live,
[02:17.14]
[02:18.14] Till the day Lady Luck smiles down on me.
[02:22.26]
[02:24.69] So they call me the moonlight gambler.
[02:30.55]
[02:31.86] Yes, they call me the moonlight gambler
