Life
If you suddenly find large voids of time in your life maybe starting a 30 Day Challenge is in order. One of the things that a 30 Day Challenge can do for you is recharge a small part of your day. That small change can sometimes jumpstart your LIFE.
Sometimes our LIFE needs a song to bring us a swift kick in the butt. Sometimes you reach the point that you just have to change your philosophy on LIFE.
You realize you need to pick yourself up and get back in the race. It doesn’t matter if you have been a puppet, a pauper, a pirate, a poet, pawn, or a king. Have you started humming the song yet?
Maybe the song That’s Life is what you need to listen to. Specifically the version from the man who was born at 415 Monroe Street in Hoboken NJ the one and only Frank Sinatra.
The lyrics for That’s Life were written Dean Kay and Kelly Gordon and first recorded by Marion Montgomery. Yet, it was “Old Blue Eyes” that made the song a hit his even though Van Morrison, David Lee Roth, Aretha Franklin, Michael Bolton, James Brown, and Michael Buble to name a few have covered the song also.
That’s Life
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 JuneI 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’ aroundI’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 raceThat’s life (that’s life), I tell you I can’t deny it
I’ve been a puppet, a pauper, a pirate, a poet, a pawn and a king
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 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 cuttin’ out but my heart won’t buy it
But if there’s nothin’ shakin’ come this here July
I’m gonna roll myself up in a big ball a-and die
My, my!
