One Time In A Row

04 One Time In A Row
(Jim Stanard)


In Vegas, I first saw her roll the dice
Her silky skirt had me looking twice
She was winning every time
Never thought I could make her mine

Just once in a row
one time in a row
she reached out to hold my hand
when the lights were low
She wrapped her arms around me
and we danced alone real slow
Only lucky streak I needed
was one time in a row
just one time in a row

Never know when fate will spark romance
We met that day, just by chance
Not sure how I caught her eye
Usually I’m not a lucky guy

Just once in a row
one time in a row
she closed her eyes and kissed me
when the lights were low
She wrapped her arms around me
and we danced alone real slow
Only lucky streak I needed
was one time in a row
just one time in a row

To hold my life together
she became the glue
Though our luck’s run hot and cold
she has stuck with me straight through

Now I’m on my longest winnin’ ride
‘cause she’s laying by my side
When dawn’s light eases out the night
and she says “please still hold me tight”

Good fortune comes and goes
but I quit playing long ago
I reach out to hold her hand
when the lights are low
I wrap my arms around her
and we dance alone real slow
Only lucky streak I needed
was one time in a row
just one time in a row
