Cliff Richard - The Game

Taken from Cliff's 1973 movie "Take Me High". This is a classic.
=====================================
The Game




Here I am, I'm so free
Good ol' independent me
I'm a man of means, a man of property
Every race that I run is one more that must be won
And what's more I know, I only just begun

Oh, but honestly sometimes I wonder
What this game I play is about

* When I come home at night I discover
Nothing's change since I went out
Guess I must be a fool or a dreamer
For what other ways could have been
All the lovers I've known give me more
Than they got from me **

I should have changed but it's hard
Something keeps me on, my God
I've never been prepared to hold a losing card
No never
But before it's too late, I've gotta come to terms with fate
For love and life I know, I'm not inclined to wait
du ....du....du....du....du

(Repeat * - **)

I loved the movie "Take me High" - I loved all the songs from the movie - and I loved Cliff acting in it. He has always looked gorgeous.
