For Rui Boy

I still love these songs. And I love my son. God help me.

For you, I was a flame
Love is a losing game
Five story fire as you came
Love is a losing game
One I wished I never played
Oh, what a mess we made
And now, the final frame
Love is a losing game
Played out by the band
Love is a losing hand
More than I could stand
Love is a losing hand
Self-professed, profound
‘Til the chips were down
Know you’re a gambling man
Love is a losing hand
Though I battle blind
Love is a fate resigned
Memories mar my mind
Love is a fate resigned
Over futile odds
And laughed at by the gods
And now, the final frame
Love is a losing game

To know, know, know him
Is to love, love, love him
Just to see that smile
Makes my life worthwhile
To know, know, know him
Is to love, love, love him
And I do, and I do, and I do
Oh, I’ll be good to him
I’ll bring joy to him
Oh, everyone says there’ll come a day
When I’ll walk alongside of him
To know, know, know him
Is to love, love, love him
And I do, I really do, and I do
Why can’t he see
How blind can he be
Someday he’ll see
That he was meant for me, oh, oh
To know, know, know him
Is to love, love, love him
Just to see that smile
Makes my life worthwhile
To know, know, know him
Is to love, love, love him
And I do, I really do, and I do
