Eddie had a few days comin'

So he took a Las Vegas jaunt

Out to the land of supply and demand

Where you can get anything you want

He wasn't lookin' for true love

No, he didn't believe in that stuff

Eddie LeGrande was a hard workin' man

Who just needed a little good luck



His shoes were a little worn

His hair was a little thin

Just another old sailor

Waitin' on his ship to come in



Lily was a two time loser

Who said that love was just a roll of the dice

She acted real tough, said once ain't enough

For me I learned my lesson twice

But deep in her heart lived a young girl

Dreamin' a young girl's dream

And that young girl was who Eddie ran into

Over by the slot machines



Her face was a little pale

Her dress was a little thin

Oh but lookin' at her was like

Watchin' his ship come in



Well, he bought her a cup of coffee

With the quarters he meant to play

They went for a bite and they talked all night

'Til they said what they needed to say

Then they found 'em an all night chapel

With a heart shaped honeymoon suite

And somewhere tonight in the neon light

Two hearts can't be beat



And he's singin' a little song

She's grinnin' a little grin

And they're holdin' each other

Watchin' their ship to come in

Her face was a little pale

His hair was a little thin

But they're two young lovers

Watchin' their ship to come in

Just holdin' each other

Watchin' their ship to come in
