That’s Life - Alternate Orchestral Version Songtext
von Frank Sinatra

That′s life (that's life)
That′s what all the people say
You're riding 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
Stomping 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

That's life (that's life)
That′s life and I can′t deny it
Many times I thought of cutting out, but my heart won't buy it
But if there′s nothing shaking, come this here July
I'm gonna roll myself up
In a big ball and die

My, my
