[Verse 1]
Love's a gamble every heart will take
You roll the dice in hopes that it won't break
One night I bet on your blue eyes and took a chance
And I won a whole lot more than one night of romance

[Chorus]
I held the ace of hearts that night in the dark
How lucky can one man be
I hold the winning hand
Anyway life deals the cards
No way to lose 'cause I've got you
My ace of hearts

[Verse 2]
Love's a numbered wheel you have to spin
There's no need for me to spin again
'Cause loving you is paying off more than I knew
I took a little risk and hit it big with you

[Chorus]
I held the ace of hearts that night in the dark
How lucky can one man be
I hold the winning hand
Anyway life deals the cards
No way to lose 'cause I've got you
My ace of hearts

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
I held the ace of hearts that night in the dark
How lucky can one man be
I hold the winning hand
Anyway life deals the cards
No way to lose 'cause I've got you
My ace of hearts

[Outro]
I'm going to hold on to
My ace of hearts
