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

Based on a composition by calvin Coolidge's vice president charles dawes making him and sonny Bono the the only federally elected officials to make it to number 1 on the US billboard

William McLeese

Sonny Bono was not federally elected - he was a congressman from California. Just saying. The only federal elected offices are president and vice-president.

I first heard this song in a 1980s teen comedy set in the 50s called “Mischief” (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...😎

Thanks for the kind words, Mark. They mean a lot to me. These past two weeks have been hell. The many sweet memories we made together constantly torment me, and I get upset by them so easily. But every day has been a little bit better, so I can only hope that this heartbreak will heal with time.

Vancha, hold it together. Don't drown in it.. I'm sure you're way younger than me. You will heal and find another..You really will.. You're alive..That's what matters..

She would say, baby you only here for a short time. well at 15 or so, I wasn't trying to hear that and now I am almost 70 and what she said back then is resonating loud and clear. She was so right because like you said, I remember what I was doing when I first heard this song.

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!

everybody had real true class, this era....young generations should learn it and be live this way as best they can. It will serve them well later in life.

The melody written in 1912 by Charles Dawes Vice President of the U.S. at the time. Originally recorded in 1951, re-released pretty as it was then, in 1958. Almost 60 years old and it still sounds good. To me (and I have been in the radio business for better than 45 years so I know what I am talking about), one of the 25 best songs ever, considering all genres or music.

Deborah Burns

As a child I used to love this song. I don't think I was even five years old, so this song reaches across all generations...A classic for sure

@Lawrence Sumblin I am startled and very pleased that there is another person on this earth who knows about Tommy Edwards and especially Ivory Joe Hunter. ivory Joe could do it all and do it very well, song writing, piano, singing, country, blues, rhythm and blues. He should have lived rotten rich and famous every day of his life!

@BlueRidgeMtns100 I completely agree. Tommy Edwards and Ivory Joe. Both underated. So sad.

OMG, I was so struck by his voice, the song- everything when I was just a kid. I have NEVER understood why this man, and Ivory Joe Hunter, didn't have major smashing stardom!

One of the most beautiful singers ever who had several recordings of songs from 1951 to 1966 who left us much too young with his death in October 1969. I wonder if he lived many years after 1969 with health enough to record more new songs through the 1970s into the 1980s like Johnny Mathis was able to do what he would sound like.
