I'm Gonna Make It All the Way [The Frank Sinatra Collection] - Frank Sinatra

I cried the day you left me and I still don’t know what kept me

From jumping off the highest bridge I know

My poor heart was breaking, I felt lower than a snake-in

That is just about the lowest you can go

I finally stopped my drinking, fell down and started thinking

That it’s no pay to relive yesterday

I tried to hide my sorrow, started living for tomorrow

I think I’m gonna make it all the way

You hurt me and abused me, took advantage of and used me

I swear it almost made a wreck of me

When I needed your devotion, you were never in the notion

You were cold as any iceberg in the sea

Love to you had lost its splendor, my pride went out the window

When you left me, I kept begging you to stay

But now my heart is healing, and I got a real good feeling

I think I’m gonna make it all the way

My troubles came in bunches, I kept rolling with the punches

You’d shoot me down and I’d get back again

I tried to be your lover, in no time I did discover

Your loving cup was not for me to win

Your kisses weren’t the same but I kept kinda fan the flame

Till I just couldn’t take another day

You can’t blame me for trying, now I stopped my crying

I think I’m gonna make it all the way

I tried my best to take it, but my smiling face didn’t make it

'Cause in my heart, I knew there was no hope

Each place reminded me of the memories of your love

I’ve come right to the end of my rope

That’s when I met my new friend, she’s just as much a true friend

Treats me like a lover here to stay

And it’s working out so well now, you can go to hell now

This time I’m gonna make it all the way

Yes, this time I’ll make it all the way

Yes.

I think I’m gonna make it all the way

Baby, get out of my way
