Introd.: Verse The party's over, the game is ended The dreams I dreamed went up in smoke They didn't pan out as intended I should know how to take a joke Melody 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 Bridge 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 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
