One of my all-time favorite songs, here. So glad I found this great source MIDI. This is the Frank Sinatra performance of the Paul Anka classic, "That's Life." Perhaps one of the most famous and popular renditions of this song.

Positioning for this: 2 lines. Horn, flute and clarinets in front, the rest in back.

Lyrics:
-----------------------------

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,
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 ol' 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 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, 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
And die.

My, my.
