Tommy Edwards Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
(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.

Today was the anniversary of my first marriage and this song popped up on my computer. Weird. We were married on September 19th in 1959 and were married 20 years . Sitting here remembering the wonderful times we had. Beautiful song and lots of good memories.
