Lucky Once

I'm in New York
Old friend tell me you're here
Lucky once, why not again?
Chance you'd reappear
"Satin Doll" is playing and
Circumstance leads to
Lines of inquiry
In between dances

Lucky Once,
Never twice
Tell me please before
They turn out all the lights
I've been lucky once
Am I just lucky one time?

Quiet-drinking type,
Tame and tender with an even eye
I'll peek through
Every tavern glass I see
- some chance I'd pass you by
Happenstance could happen
And

Lucky Once,
Never twice
Tell me please before
They turn out all the lights
I've been lucky once
Am I just lucky one time?

I'm in New York,
Old friend tell me you're here
Please, leave me here to stay
Until I hear the band play "What Is There To Say"
Well
What else is there for me
tonight?
