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 fingertips
And your heart will fly away
(Instrumental Break)
.
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 heart will fly away

C'EST LE JEU
Richard Anthony - 1959
Risque ton cœur à tout-va
En amour, c'est le jeu
Puisque ta chance à Dieu va
En fermant les yeux
A chacun son tour
Chacun joue sur le velours
Et se donne au double jeu d'amour
Ne crains jamais de mentir
C'est la vie, c'est le jeu
{x2:}
Tu peux risquer un soupir
Une larme ou deux
Tu auras demain
La revanche à portée de ta main
Mais va-t'en avant la fin
