Wheel Of Fortune
Hal Mooney Orchestra Lyrics

The wheel of fortune
Referring to the concept of luck or chance, which determines one's fate or destiny.

Goes spinning around
The idea that the cycle of chance or luck is constantly in motion and unpredictable.

Will the arrow point my way?
Asks if the cycle of luck will work in the singer's favor, suggesting a desire for a fortunate outcome.

Will this be my day?
Similar to the last line, this hints at an optimistic outlook towards a good turn of events.

Oh, wheel of fortune
The phrase 'oh' being used in this line indicates a plea or appeal to the concept of chance or luck.

Please don't pass me by
The fear of missing out on an opportunity or lucky break, hoping to be selected by chance or fate.

Let me know the magic of
An anticipated request towards chance or luck to bring a positive change towards the singer's current situation.

A kiss and a sigh
The association with romance and intimacy, suggesting an idealistic desire for love and happiness.

While the wheel is spinning, spinning, spinning
The repetition of the word 'spinning' emphasizes the constant flux of chance and uncertainty.

I'll not dream of winning, fortune or even fame
The focus shifts from personal gain to the emotional fulfillment of love and intimacy.

While the wheel is turning, turning, turning
The repetition of 'turning' mirrors that of 'spinning' in the previous verse, highlighting the cyclical nature of luck or fortune.

I'll be yearning, yearning
The artist's desire for love and happiness remains constant regardless of external factors.

For love's precious flame
The metaphor of 'precious flame' implies the fragility and preciousness of love.

Oh, wheel of fortune
The repetition of this line after a verse underscores the importance of chance or luck in the singer's life.

I'm hoping somehow
The singer's tone implies a sense of resignation, hoping for something to change for the better.

If you ever smile on me
Addressing chance or luck more personally, asking for a lucky break or chance to come their way.

Please let it be now
Reiterating the artist's hope for immediate change, implying a sense of urgency or desperation.

I'm hoping sometime
The singer's use of 'sometime', and not a specific time, perhaps indicates a wavering or loss of confidence in their own agency or control.
