It's All In the Game
Jason Donovan Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

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 heart 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 finger tips
And your heart will fly away

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 then he'll kiss your lips
And caress your waiting finger tips
And your heart will fly away
And your heart will fly fly away
And your heart will fly away






Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Jason Donovan's song "It's All In The Game" speak about the ups and downs of love. The song acknowledges that tears will be shed and the future may seem uncertain at times, but this is all part of the game of love. Even when things seem bleak, the heart can rise above it all. The lyrics suggest that waiting for a lover's call may bring disappointment, but eventually, they will come back with gifts and affection, causing the heart to soar once again.


The repetitive nature of the lyrics and the use of "game" and "wonderful game" suggest that the ups and downs of love are all part of the natural order of things. The song implies that these emotional experiences are a necessary part of a fulfilling love life. Despite the sorrows, the joys of being with the one you love outweigh the pain.

Especially for you
I want to let you know what I was going through
All the time we were apart
I thought of you
You were in my heart
My love never changed
I still feel the same
Especially for you
I want to tell you I was feeling that way too
And if dreams were wings, you know
I would have flown to you
To be where you are
No matter how far
And now that I'm next to you
No more dreaming about tomorrow
Forget the loneliness and the sorrow
I've got to say
It's all because of you
And now we're back together, together
I want to show you my heart is oh so true
And all the love I have is
Especially for you
Especially for you
I want to tell you, you mean all the world to me
How I'm certain that our love was meant to be
You changed my life
You showed me the way
And now that I'm next to you
I've waited long enough to find you
I want to put all the hurt behind you
Oh,
And I want to bring out all the love inside you
Oh
And now we're back together, together
I want to show you my heart is oh so true
And all the love I have is
Especially for you
You were in my heart
My love never changed
And now we're back together, together
I want to show you my heart is oh so true
And all the love I have is
Especially for you
Together, together
I want to show you my heart is oh so true
And all the love I have is
Especially for you
Together, together
I want to show you my heart is oh so true
And all the love I have is
Especially

Wow, this song brings tears to my eyes.
Seeing them together is just so beautiful.
It brings back memories and nostalgia.
How wonderful it seemed back then. They made a beautiful couple. Jason was a heartthrob of many.
At that time, life seemed like it would be wonderful forever. I really loved these two. Of course, things changed. They went their own ways.
But, the memories are mind blowing. It takes me back to the era ,where the world looked so rosy, comfortable and full of love which this song shows.
But.... life changed so much.
This song brings back the tears, the what ifs. ... takes me back to that wonderful era. And I can't help the tears.
God bless Kylie and Jason where ever they may be. I thank them ,for the beauty of this song and that gorgeous era. For the nostalgia, which takes me back to a memory. A beautiful, beautiful era.

It’s 2023.. and I still remember this song clearly, every lyrics of it.. I even remember the video clip. It’s one of my dad’s favorite songs. My dad even bought the album. I found out the song was released in 1989, it means I was 8 years old at that time. And now after 32 years later, it brings back all the memories. I could even hear my dad singing to that song. Rest in peace, dad. You’re STILL and ALWAYS in my heart.. ❤️
