I walked out along the beach tonight
Moonlight gleaming on the troubled waves
I thought of all the loves I’d won and lost
Guess that’s just the way old Lady Luck misbehaves
Silver moon, why, oh, why?
Silver dollar flipped in the sky
Heads love wins, tails love dies
Silver moon
Silver moon, is this my chance?
Another heartbreak or true romance
I want to sing, she wants to dance
Silver moon
While you smile on this world sleeping
True lovers’ hearts are won and lost
So many lovers weeping
I wonder is it worth the cost
Silver moon, tales are told
Of other lovers who have and hold
Should I raise or should I fold?
Silver moon
While you smile on this world sleeping
Can’t you heed this lovers call
So many lovers leaping
Without looking where they’ll fall
Silver moon, velvet sky
The odds are good but the stakes are high
She’s a gambler and so am I, Silver moon
