From a jack to    a     king,
from  lone-li-ness___ to a   wed  -  ding    ring,__
I played  an  ace__ and   I  won   a    queen__
and  walked a-way  with your heart. 
From  a   jack  to  a   king,  with  no  regret,  I stacked the cards   last   night_
and  La-dy  Luck  played  her  hand     just     right__
and  made  me king     of    your   heart.___________

For   just   a    lit   -   tle  while,__
I thought   that    I   might      lose     the    game, 
then   just  in    time    I    saw___ the  twin-kle         in    your    eye.___
From    a   jack    to      a       king,
from  lone-li-ness___ to a   wed  -  ding    ring,__
I played  an  ace__ and   I  won   a    queen__
that    made    me    king    of    your heart.
