Eight o'clock, nine o'clock, ten o'clock
All is well for the blue jack of diamonds

Each of us can find a way to be in love
Can't we have the time that we choose
If it's not the way that's suited best to your mind
Is it suited better to lose
Can this be happening?
I really here?
I all alone
If no one else is near?

Once upon a time there was a king and a queen
King and queen of hearts in their light
Then one day the king awoke and no one was there
She had stolen into the night
Can this be happening?
Is there no answer here?
It's not their love that had died
But no one was aware

Each of us can find a way to be in love
Can't we have the time that we choose
If it's not the way that's suited best to your mind
Is it suited better to lose
Eight o'clock, nine o'clock, ten o'clock
Now the king of hearts is the blue jack of diamonds
