Checkmate Love

[Verse]
She walked in with grace, that Southern belle,
On the checkerboard floor, you could tell,
Her eyes met mine, in the small-town light,
It’s a dance of kings and queens tonight.
[Verse 2]
Movin’ pieces round, in a friendly game,
But in my heart, I'd staked my claim,
Every smile she gave was like a knight to trust,
In this chessboard love, it’s an all-in thrust.
[Chorus]
Checkmate love, in the candlelight,
Strategic moves, hearts take flight,
Queens and kings, they play and yearn,
Love’s a game, you live and learn.
[Verse 3]
Pawns were falling fast, as nights rolled by,
But she played the queen with a knowing eye,
Every laugh we shared was a rook's bold move,
In this board of life, she’s got the groove.
[Verse 4]
Her soft voice whispered secrets like a knight,
Bout dreams we had, in the still of night,
A castle built on love, sturdy and grand,
Two hearts aligned, a queen and a man.
[Chorus]
Checkmate love, in the candlelight,
Strategic moves, hearts take flight,
Queens and kings, they play and yearn,
Love’s a game, you live and learn.
