The Gambler Says Goodbye

I'm the gambler with the empty hand
Even though she believes in me
Through the years, I've folded every plan
Twenty years ago, our skies were sunny

Even though she believes in me
They said, don't fall in love with a dreamer
Twenty years ago, our skies were sunny
As I chased islands in the stream

They said, don't fall in love with a dreamer
My lady lost much more than money
As I chased islands in the stream
Lucille, you shouldn't have bet on me

My lady lost much more than money
Through the years, I've folded every plan
Lucille, you shouldn't have bet on me
I'm the gambler with the empty hand.

Kenny Rogers songs:

The Gambler
She Believes in Me
Through the Years
Twenty Years Ago
Don't Fall in Love with a Dreamer
Islands in the Stream
Lady
Lucille
