In love I feel I've struck it rich,
I finally staked my claim,
I chipped away at hardened heart
to strike the richest vein!

I felt I'd never hit it big,
I'd nearly given in;
I felt I'd never find the one,
my heart would never win!

Then one sweet day you waltzed right in,
was so far from prepared
I had to look not once but twice
to see you standing there!

I said, "I think you might be lost",
you said, "I know my way!";
I knew right then I'd hit my mark,
I fell in love that day!

You showed me love I'd never known
I soon had lost control.
I gambled big, my heart at stake
but love was on a roll!

I took the chance and placed the bet,
I shoved my whole stack in;
I flopped a flush right from the start,
And hearts had won again!

So as you see, it all paid off,
although I had to dig.
With you I'm now the richest man,
in love, I'm winning BIG!
