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

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

(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

The music of this song (not the words) was written by a man named Charles Gates Dawes. If you have a thousand guesses, you won't be able to guess what he did for a living in the 1920s. He also won an award of some kind in the 1920s. You won't guess what.

@Yvonne Gutierrez it was a much smaller world. Smaller homes, closets, food portions, a few dresses, shoes, shorts, one jacket, one coat, one doll, couple of games, b&w TV only 3 channels. Walked or rode bikes to school. Did chores- if paid, allowance 25 cents a week. Many families had one car, Moms were home, cooked full meals, families ate together. Seldom went to restaurants-it was a big treat. Church on Sunday, stores closed, shops were downtown, no malls. Tons of kids, after school snack, homework, played outdoors, made up games, grade school went to bed by 8-9pm.

It would surely be a hard task to find a male vocalist from the 40's till now 22 years into the 21st century who could handle a ballad as well as TE . His beautiful sound surely exceeds other singers who were and are considered stars. That silky smooth beautiful voice with the back beat simply goes unmatched. This type of singing is past but my oh my not forgotten by many. Back in time you could not play the radio no matter what station , and not hear , It's All In The Game . Thanks Tommy you were so special.

My father always used to play this song and it would remind him of his mom, my grandmother who’s now deceased. I never really saw her much since she was always watching over my cousins. At 14 years old this reminds me of my father and grandmother and it gets me thinking about life in simpler times. Not many kids my age enjoy this music but I sure do.

I first heard this song in a 1980s teen comedy set in the 50s called “Mischief” back in 1985 (a very underrated movie of that genre imao). Btw, this song has an interesting backstory: The music was actually written by Charles C. Dawes who was VP under President Calvin Coolidge. He originally named it “Melody in A Major” in 1911. In 1958 lyrics were added to the music that became Tommy Edwards classic version...😎

I think it definitely will, because this music and these performances transcend their era- in other words, they're timeless. Would that we had the occasional example of that now.

When Ever I hear this being played on car radio,I pull over stop and just take it all in. There are so many great great Doo-Wop songs, but this is truly #1.

This song brings back such sweet childhood memories...I was about 5, and my daddy, mother, brother and I sitting in daddy's big old car at our favorite drive-in, under a big shade tree at night, a full moon and a summer breeze blowing through the windows, eating a steak basket and a milkshake. This song came on the radio and I was mesmerized by it. I thought it was the most beautiful song I'd ever heard!. Those times were pretty perfect to me and brings tears to my eyes because our parents drowned just 9 years later. They were wonderful!

It all seemed remarkably modern. Everybody, like everybody had something to live for. Unfortunately, TB was still rife and we all thought that everyone had the germ but some developed it and some didn't. We thought the same about cancer too. The girls dressed to kill and wanted to be female and feminine in high heeled shoes. Not like the tattooed scruffs with weird colour hair.of today.

I agree, this song brings back great memories of living in Levittown, PA., while we waited for our on base house at McGuire AFB, NJ. Attended Ben Franklin Jr. High.

Many great singers have recorded this song but they can't beat Tommy Edwards. They just can't. The best.

This was used in the film "October Sky". That film originally introduced me to this classic.

When I listen to this standard, and look at the thumbs down, I wonder haw classless people can be. This song exudes pure warmth and elegance. This man was one of a kind.

The thumbs down are just sad people anyway and the music reminds them of a happier time.

This takes me back to the late 50's when I was a child! Those were tragic days for me and this song is a haunting reminder, but it's sweet!
