Lyrics
The party's over, the game is ended
The dreams I dreamed went up in smoke
They didn't pan out as I had 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
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
No one knows better than I, myself, I'm by myself alone
I'll go my way by myself, here's where the comedy ends
I'll have to deny myself love and laughter and friends
Dark clouds in the sky above have put a blot on my fun
I'll have to fly high for a place in the sun
I'll face the unknown, I'll build a world of my own
No one knows better than I myself, I'm by myself
No one around, I'm by myself alone
Writer(s): Howard Dietz, Arthur Schwartz
