I know that it's true sometimes life's hard
It's touch or it's go at the turn of the heart
Somehow love survives the only way it can
Well, it's not the cards we're dealt, it's how you play the hand

Darlin', each day turned in to each year
We've held each other through hopes and through fears
Every turn life takes me near the best of that we can
I'm still in love with you and how you play the hand

Baby, what it takes is just an open heart
Sounds a little foolish but it's the only place to start

Baby, what it takes is just an open heart
Sounds a little foolish but it's the only place to start

I know that it's true sometimes love ends
There's no guarantees whenever it begins
Baby, I bet all I have on you and me again
'Cause I still believe that love is how you play the hand
Oh, it's not the cards we're dealt, it's how you play the hand
