Who lost his love through his indifference, while life goes on around him everywhere
a little hope goes up in smoke
Goes without saying, it s easy to pretend
until it died within his silence
And by himself, who would command the hand he s playing Solitaire, and solitaire s the only game in town
Takes him down, and solitaire s the only game in town, and keeping to himself he plays the game
And by himself, goes without saying
And keeping to himself he plays the game, while life goes on around him everywhere
He s playing solitaire, and by himself
without her love it always ends the same
Until it died within his silence, it s easy to pretend
and by himself
without her love it always ends the same
Takes him down, takes him down
And solitaire s the only game in town, and every road that takes him
and by himself
That went unchecked, he s playing solitaire
there was a man
Takes him down, goes without saying Andy, and keeping to himself he plays the game
it s easy to pretend
A lonely man, that went unchecked Williams, takes him down
There was a man, and keeping to himself he plays the game
And every road that takes him, and every road that takes him
There was a man
A lonely man
Who lost his love
Through his indifference.
A heart that cares
That went unshared
And slowly dies
Within his silence.
Chorus:
Now solitaire's the only game in town and
Every road that takes me takes me down,
I find myself that's easy to pretend,
I'll never love again and deep into myself I play the
Game, without you love it always ends the same,
While life goes all around me everywhere, I'm playing Solitaire.
Another day a lonely day
So much to say that goes unspoken
And through the night
Each sleepless night
The eyes are closed
The heart is broken.
Chorus:
Now Solitaire's the only game in town and
Every road that takes me takes me down,
I find myself that's easy to pretend I'm coming back
Again and deep into myself I play the game without
You love it always ends the same,
While life goes all around me everywhere, I'm playing Solitaire.
Solitaire's the only game in town.
Every road that takes me takes me down.
This is fantastic! Not sure whether Carpenters or this is the better version. Both are just beautiful, and I love this. Happy if Karen and Andy are now battling out in another place. RIP Andy, and indeed Karen.
This song is in the last Album he has in the late 70s or early 80s. I love most if his songs, perhaps it started with Moon River, a summer place, never on Sunday etc...
With the last album I bought, got excited, and love, being this album and esp this song.
Saw his concert when he came to Singapore in early 2000. He voice dried up quite a lot, but it didn't effect any of his songs I like.
I also always remember
May each day
It's all over
Sunny
Alfie
Raindrops Keep falling on my head
Happy heart
Danny boy
Summer times
The days of wine and roses
When I listen to those songs, i still remember how I felt when I listen to them in the 70s.
How come the music in the 70s is very daily regular lovely life, yet today it is like going to big party, must shout and dance violently.
Can we say no to those today music with a billion views?
Andy Williams had such a fine voice and he transmitted feeling when he sang. This song is very nice and unfortunately the song of many people who for some reason or another cannot recover from a heartbreak. But all of us who have lived enough have gone through heartbreaks so we should get up and recover. Life without love is empty and meaningless really.
Andy Williams sends shivers down my spine when he sings, my eyes fill up with tears at the beauty and the emotion in his voice. Gone but never forgotten, your music lives on
I want to let3you all know, to really understand he theme and the feeling of the author, one must see it as he wrote the song. Ask yourself, "Why did he or she wrote that lyrics? What was he/she feeling when he wrote the song?" As make the visual in my video, I want to be inside the feelings of the writer in order for me to understand and ask "why?".
There are people like the one the song describes. We should open up our hearts to others or we shall be loners and sad throughout our lives. And if our hearts were broken be brave and look for someone else. We were made to love and be loved and are not happy if we are disconnected from those around us.
