These are the lyrics to the song: “She Wanted to Play”, by Jim Ashby
SHE WANTED TO PLAY
The sun broke through the clouds
As she lay waking
A voice cried out from the crowds
Another heart breaking
She wanted to play
I wanted to say . . . I love you
I ran to her
Like the summer runs to fall
She began to purr
Like a kitten with a ball
She wanted to play
I wanted to say . . . I love you
The card she was dealing
Sure made it hard on feeling
The world would ever stop reeling
At a frantic pace
As she rode and I carried
A romantic race
To die or get married
She wanted to play
I wanted to say . . . I love you
We flew past the finish line
Not knowing we had crossed it
Blind, blind, to every sign
We had it all but lost it
She wanted to play
I wanted to say . . . I love you
The card she was dealing
Sure made it hard on feeling
The world would ever stop reeling
She wanted to play
I wanted to say . . . I love you
