KENNY ROGERS & SHEENA EASTON
I KNOW IT'S LATE,I KNOW YOU'RE WEARY
I KNOW YOUR PLANS DON'T INCLUDE ME
STILL HERE WE ARE, BOTH OF US LONELY
LONGING FOR SHELTER FROM ALL THAT WE SEE
WHY SHOULD WE WORRY, NO ONE WILL CARE, GIRL
LOOK AT THE STARS NOW SO FAR AWAY
WE'VE GOT TONIGHT
WHO NEEDS TOMORROW?
WE'VE GOT TONIGHT BABE
WHY DON'T YOU STAY?
DEEP IN MY SOUL, I'VE BEEN SO LONELY
ALL OF MY HOPES, FADING AWAY
I'VE LONGED FOR LOVE, LIKE EVERYONE ELSE DOES
I KNOW I'LL KEEP SEARCHING, AFTER TODAY
SO THAT THERE IT IS GIRL
WE'VE GOT IT ALL NOW
AND HERE WE ARE BABE
WHAT DO YOU SAY?
WE'VE GOT TONIGHT
WHO NEEDS TOMORROW?
WE'VE GOT TONIGHT BABE
WHY DON'T "WE" STAY?
I KNOW IT'S LATE, I KNOW YOU'RE WEARY
I KNOW YOUR PLANS DON'T INCLUDE ME
STILL HERE WE ARE, BOTH OF US LONELY
BOTH OF US LONELY
WE'VE GOT TONIGHT
WHO NEEDS TOMORROW?
LET'S MAKE IT LAST
LET'S FIND A WAY
TURN OUT THE LIGHT
OH, OH, COME TAKE MY HAND NOW
WE'VE GOT TONIGHT BABE
WHY DON'T YOU STAY?
WE'VE GOT TONIGHT BABE
WHY DON'T WE STAY?

The Gambler (Kenny Rogers) - Lyrics
On a warm summers eve on a train bound for nowhere,
I met up with the gambler; we were both too tired to sleep.
So we took turns a starin' out the window at the darkness
'til boredom overtook us, and he began to speak.
He said, son, I've made my life out of readin' peoples' faces,
And knowin' what their cards were by the way they held their eyes.
So if you don't mind my sayin, I can see you're out of aces.
For a taste of your whiskey I'll give you some advice.
So I handed him my bottle and he drank down my last swallow.
Then he bummed a cigarette and asked me for a light.
And the night got deathly quiet, and his face lost all expression.
Said, if you're gonna play the game, boy, ya gotta learn to play it right.
You got to know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em,
Know when to walk away and know when to run.
You never count your money when you're sittin' at the table.
There'll be time enough for countin' when the dealin's done.
Now ev'ry gambler knows that the secret to survivin'
Is knowin' what to throw away and knowing what to keep.
'cause ev'ry hands a winner and ev'ry hands a loser,
And the best you can hope for is to die in your sleep.
So when he'd finished speakin', he turned back towards the window,
Crushed out his cigarette and faded off to sleep.
And somewhere in the darkness the gambler, he broke even.
But in his final words I found an ace that I could keep.
You got to know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em,
Know when to walk away and know when to run.
You never count your money when youre sittin at the table.
There'll be time enough for countin' when the dealin's done.
You got to know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em,
Know when to walk away and know when to run.
You never count you r money when youre sittin' at the table.
There'll be time enough for countin' when the dealin's done.
