Lyrics
Dealt A Losin? Hand
Like the changing of the tides, all good things have to end.
This brave lady died today, a sister a friend.
Her hopes and dreams were shattered, life was not as she planned.
She was told her days were numbered, dealt a losin? hand.
(CHORUS)
Dealt a losin? hand yet no one could ever tell, she was holding on played her cards so very well
Never once complained she took it right on the chin, dealt a losin? hand not a chance for her to win.
When her loved ones gathered round, to say their last goodbyes.
She could not hide the tears, that welled up in her eyes.
Don?t worry bout me, soon I?ll have peace of mind.
Live your life to the fullest, cherish every day in time.
(CHORUS)
