Playing Card Songs

Shape of My Heart by Sting

Shape of My Heart

He deals the cards as a meditation
And those he plays never suspect
He doesn’t play for the money he wins
He don’t play for respect


He deals the cards to find the answer
The sacred geometry of chance
The hidden law of a probable outcome
The numbers lead a dance


I know that the spades are the swords of a soldier
I know that the clubs are weapons of war
I know that diamonds mean money for this art
But that’s not the shape of my heart


He may play the jack of diamonds
He may lay the queen of spades
He may conceal a king in his hand
While the memory of it fades


I know that the spades are the swords of a soldier
I know that the clubs are weapons of war
I know that diamonds mean money for this art
But that’s not the shape of my heart
That’s not the shape
The shape of my heart


If I told her that I loved you
You’d maybe think there’s something wrong
I’m not a man of too many faces
The mask I wear is one


But those who speak know nothing
And find out to their cost
Like those who curse their luck in too many places
And those who fear are lost


I know that the spades are the swords of a soldier
I know that the clubs are weapons of war
I know that diamonds mean money for this art
But that’s not the shape of my heart
That’s not the shape of my heart
That’s not the shape
The shape of my heart

The Joker and the Queen 

by Ed Sheeran and Taylor Swift

The Joker and the Queen

How was I to know? 

It’s a crazy thing 

I showed you my hand 

And you still let me win 

Who was I to say 

That this was meant to be? 

The road that was broken brought us together  


And I know you could fall for a thousand kings 

And hearts that could give you a diamond ring 

When I fold you see the best in me 

The joker and the queen 


I was upside down from the outside in

You came to the table and you went all in

With a single word and a gentle touch

You turned a moment into forever


And I know you could fall for a thousand kings

And hearts that could give you a diamond ring

When I fold you see the best in me

The joker and the queen 


And I know you could fall for a thousand kings

And hearts that could give you a diamond ring

When I folded, you saw the best in be

The joker and the queen 

The joker and the queen


Song: The Joker And The Queen 

Artist: Ed Sheeran 

Album: The Joker And The Queen

Draw of the Cards - Kim Carnes

Draw of the Cards

Sleight of hand
Hands of fate
Chance you take
Life’s a snake


And it’s all in the draw of the cards


Lightnin’ strike
Breath of life
Red black or white
Watch ’em fall


And it’s all in the draw of the cards
And it’s all in the draw of the cards


Drop the cards
Watch the eyes
Down and dirty
Let ’em ride


Boulevard
Small cafe
Cavaliers
Pass the day


The joker laughs
From the street
Weaves his web
Bittersweet


Ace is high
Deuce is low
Take the first
The rest should go


And it’s all in the draw of the cards
And it’s all in the draw of the cards

The Gambler by Kenny Rogers

The Gambler

On a warm summer’s 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
The boredom overtook us,
And he began to speak


He said, “Son, I’ve made a life
Out of readin’ people’s faces
Knowin’ what the cards were
By the way they held their eyes
So if you don’t mind me 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 faced lost all expression
He said, “If you’re gonna play the game, boy
You gotta learn to play it right


You’ve 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


Every gambler knows
That the secret to survivin’
Is knowin’ what to throw away
And knowin’ what to keep
‘Cause every hand’s a winner
And every hand’s a loser
And the best that you can hope for is to die
in your sleep


And when he finished speakin’
He turned back toward 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’ve 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


You’ve got to know when to hold ’em (when to hold ’em)
Know when to fold ’em (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


You’ve 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
