Chorus:
Frank Sinatra's spinning round and round
Cigarettes keep burning down,
Down in her big dark room
Down in her big dark room
I'll won't forget the day my whole world changed
I sat and watched the man go down in flames
Nothing left but the waiting, nothing to say
The doctor, there's not much he could do
The worst of it spread all through and through
"I'd start to make my plans if I were you."
Chorus:
It's still a wonder how I made it this far
Saved by my luck
2 dollar window and the crummy old bars
I never lost my heart
Waiting for news as the sun comes up
The sound of ice in her favorite cup
Another dark day, it doesn't change too much
Alone and shattered in her easy chair
Dreaming the fortune that should have been there
A million plus vanished to thin air
