Come on dear
The senior citizen tournament
Is about to end
Enough of age old thinking
You know I’m going to win
That beautiful serious face
I’ve cherished for years
Same old room
Same old antiques
The beauty of them always lives
But its your beauty that’s priceless
My heart still skips a beat
I know you let me win
So then why take so long
Stop thinking, start acting
I know my king is in danger
But remember you are my queen
Now, if you wish
Give me my checkmate
and lets get it over and done
Years have gone
My eyes are blinded
With your undying beauty
That’s the only reason
You always win
My dear husband
Finally the queen broke her silence
You ask after so many years
Why I still ponder
What I think about
If you’ve not caught my drift
Then I really need to wonder
What the heck am I doing here?
Checkmate honey
Your king is a goner
Like always, why don't you get it
I’ve always been a winner
Will always be winning
As long as you are with me
Okay I’m tired
I think…
Let’s call it a day
What do you say?
Your wish is my command
My everlasting beautiful queen
You take the lead
And I’ll follow you
I love you for making me smile
He said to his queen
You’re always welcome she replied
