SOLO:
>From a jack to a king
>From loneliness to a wedding ring
I played an ace and I won a queen
And walked away with your heart
>From a jack to a king
With no regret I stacked the cards last night
And lady luck played her hand just right
To make me king of your heart
For just a little while I thought that I might lose the game
Then just in time I saw the twinkle in your eye
>From a jack to a king
>From loneliness to a wedding ring
I played an ace and I won a queen
You made me king of your heart
