luck be a lady

i'm waiting for you.

for you to come

up the walk

or drive.

i'm

on the steps,

outside.

i'm waiting for the stars to

align.

waiting.

for the sun to rise.

for a shooting star

to streak

across the sky.

i'm waiting for the wish

in the wishing well

to come true.

i'm waiting for the gypsy

to be right.

for my ship to come in.

for the jackpot,

the prize,

i'm waiting 

for luck

be a lady tonight.
