Poker Mix

Last night my pal Marlene had a Girl's Night Poker Party. Wine, Women and Song. No I didn't win, but I had a few good hands.

I made a Poker Mix CD as a party favor for the guests. Songs about Luck, Taking Chances, Gambling, Fun. I'm the perfect one for this task as I have 2,600 songs on my ipod.

Something Big

You're walkin' along the street, or you're at a party,
Or else you're alone and then you suddenly dig,
You're looking' in someone's eyes, you suddenly realize
That this could be the start of something big.

You're lunching at Twenty-One and watchin' your diet,
Declining a charlotte russe, accepting a fig,
When out of a clear blue sky, it's suddenly gal and guy,
And this could be the start of something big.

There's no controlling the unrolling of your fate, my friend,
Who knows what's written in the magic book.
But when a lover you discover at the gate my friend,
Invite him in without a second look.

You're up in an aeroplane or dining at Sardi's,
Or lying at Malibu alone on the sand,
You suddenly hear a bell, and right away you can tell
That this could be the start of something grand.

This could be the start of something very big,
Why don't you play your part?
Please give your heart to me and see.
This could be the start of something wonderful,

Why don't you take a chance?
Just try romance with me and see.

You're watchin' the sun come up and countin' your money,
Or else in a dim cafe you're ordering wine,
Then suddenly there he is, and you wanna be where he is,
And this must be the start of something
This could be the heart of something
This could be the start of something big.
