Solitaire

Dean Martin · Classic Tracks [2009]

(Guion - Cornelia Borck - Carl Nutter)



Since you're gone I spend each lonely night

Dealing out the cards from left to right

And the queen of hearts is there to remind me

That I'm all alone just playing solitaire.



Love was just another game for two

I see now that's all it meant to you

And my heart got lost somewhere in the shuffle

Now I'm all alone just playing solitaire.



In each romance there's an element of chance

The gamble to win or to lose, you play to win

Then you find you're playing in a game with no rules,

Just made for fools.



Now the joker has the laugh on me

'Cause I played my hand so carelessly

And until you want to share that old feeling

I'll be dealing time away with solitaire.



And until you want to share that old feeling

I'll be dealing time away with solitaire...
