49.That's Life
Written：Kelly Gordon／Dean Kay
Arranger：Ernie Freeman
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 say, that's life, and as funny as it may seem
Some people get their kicks steppin' on a dream
But I don't let it, let it get me down
Cause this fine old world, it keeps spinning 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 - I tell you - I can't deny it：
I thought of quittin', 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 an 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, laying flat on my face
I just pick myself up and get back in the race
That's life. that's life, and I can't deny it：
Many times I thought of cuttin' out, but my heart won't buy it
But if there's nothing shakin' come this here July
I'm gonna roll myself up in a big ball...
And die
My, my
