C            G
Many a tear has to fall
C            G
But it's all in the game
D                     G
All in the wonderful game
C                G  D
That we know as love

Bm       Em
You had words with him
Bm                    C
And your future's looking dim
Am                               D
But these things your heart can rise above

Once in a while he won't call, he won't call
But it's all in the game
Soon he'll be there by your side
With a small bouquet

And he'll kiss your lips
And caress your fingertips
And your heart will fly away

You had words, words with him
And your future was looking,
but don't you worry 'bout it
These things your heart,
these things can rise above

Once in a while he won't, he won't, he won't call
But you gotta be patient
Soon he will be there
With a small, with a small bouquet

And he will kiss your lips
And caress your waiting fingertips, just like that
And your heart will fly away

Listen, listen, listen, listen, listen
He will kiss your lips
And touch you
And you will feel, you will feel like
You're gonna fly, fly
