By Myself

(album: Steppin' Out - 1993)

The party's over
The game is ended
The dreams are doomed
Went up in smoke
They didn't pan out
As intended
I should know how
To take a joke

I'll go my way by myself
This is the end of romance
I'll go my way by myself
Love is only a dance

Gray clouds in the sky above
Have put a blot on my fun
I'll try to fly high above
For a place in the sun

I'll face the unknown
I'll build a world of my own
For no one knows better than I myself
I'm by myself alone

I'll go my way by myself
Here's how the comedy ends
I'll have to deny myself
Love and laughter and friends

I'll try to apply myself
And teach my heart how to sing
I'll go my way by myself
Like a bird on the wing

And I'll face the unknown
I'll build a world of my own
For no one knows better than I myself
I'm by myself alone
