Third Time's the Charm

A stately rose Glorious flower Slowly fading Hour by hour Still so mysterious By candle light Heavy lidded eyes Another night But our sparkle fades A little more We've lost a step on the old dance floor We've lived it long We've lived it well And this is our story to tell Seasons come and seasons go And make-up runs When the tears flow Ain't gonna leave you I wouldn't even try You're still the apple of my eye We'll try it once We'll try it twice If it don't work out We'll roll the dice I got your back You're on my arm This I know darlin' Third time's the charm Vintage vinyl Old '78 Spinning round Unravelling fate It's a song We know so well Always seems to cast its spell Been some hot ones You best believe Like those times on New Years eve We'd watch the clock We'd count it down When we were young we counted so loud You pull me back when I go too far You are my queen My shimmering star We'll try it once We'll try it twice If it don't work out Take my advice I got your back You're on my arm This I know darlin' Third time's the charm This life will leave its scars But without love we ain't going very far You know that I remember skipping stones across the lake Thinking back makes my poor heart ache Ain't gonna leave you I wouldn't even try You're still the apple of my eye We'll try it once We'll try it twice If it don't work out Take my advice I got your back You're on my arm We'll try it once We'll try it twice If it don't work out We'll roll the dice I got your back You're on my arm This I know darlin' Third time's the charm
