It’s All in the Game Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Many a tear has to fall
But it's all in the game
All in the wonderful game
That we know as love
You have words with him
And your future's looking dim
But these things
Your hearts can rise above
[Verse 2]
Once in a while he won't call
But it's all in the game
Soon he'll be there at your side
With a sweet bouquet
And he'll kiss your lips
And caress your waiting fingertips
And your hearts will fly
Away
[Verse 2]
(Soon he'll be there at your side)
With a sweet bouquet
Then he'll kiss your lips
And caress your waiting fingertips
And your hearts will fly
Away
Many a tear has to fall
But it's all in the game
All in the wonderful game
That we know as love
You have words with him
And your future's looking dim
But these things
Your hearts can rise above
[Verse 2]
Once in a while he won't call
But it's all in the game
Soon he'll be there at your side
With a sweet bouquet
And he'll kiss your lips
And caress your waiting fingertips
And your hearts will fly
Away
[Verse 2]
(Soon he'll be there at your side)
With a sweet bouquet
Then he'll kiss your lips
And caress your waiting fingertips
And your hearts will fly
Away

Genius Annotation
This song was written in 1951 when Carl Sigman set lyrics to the violin piece Melody in A major by Charles G. Dawes, who was a Chicago bank president at the time but later became Vice President of the United States. Previous recordings of the song with Dinah Shore and Sammy Kaye failed to make an impression, but Edwards' version hit #1 on the R&B Best Seller chart.
