It's All In the Game
Prysock Arthur 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 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
