That's Life
Frank Sinatra
That's life （that's life）' that's what all the people say
You're ridin' high in April' shot down in May
But I know I'm gonna change that tune
When I'm back on top' back on top in June
I said that's life （that's life）' and as funny as it may seem
Some people get their kicks stompin' on a dream
But I don't let it' let it get me down
'cause this fine old world' it keeps spinnin' around
I've been a puppet' a pauper' a pirate' a poet' a pawn and a king
I've been up and down and over and out and I know one thing
Each time I find myself flat on my face
I pick myself up and get back in the race
That's life （that's life）' I tell you I can't deny it
I thought of quitting' baby' but my heart just ain't gonna buy it
And if I didn't think it was worth one single try
I'd jump right on a big bird and then I'd fly
I've been a puppet' a pauper' a pirate' a poet' a pawn and a king
I've been up and down and over and out and I know one thing
Each time I find myself layin' flat on my face
I just pick myself up and get back in the race
