And now, the end is near
And so I face the final curtain.
My friend I''''ll say it clear,
I''''ll state my case, of which I''''m certain.
I''''ve lived a life that''''s full
I''''ve traveled each and ev''''ry highway
And more much more than this
I did it my way
Regrets I''''ve had a few;
But then again too few to mention
I did what I had to do
And saw it through without exemption
I planned each charted course
Each careful step along the byway
But more, much more than this
I did it my way
Yes, there were times I''''m sure you knew
When I bit off more than I could chew
But through it all when there was doubt
I ate it up and spit it out
I faced it all and I stood tall
And did it my way
I''''ve loved I''''ve laughed and cried.
I''''ve had my fill; my share of losing
And nowas tears subside
I find it all so amusing
To think I did all that
And may I say - not in a shy way
Oh no oh no not me
I did it my way
For what is a man what has he got
If not himself then he has naught
To say the things he truly feels
And not the words of one who kneels
The record shows I took the blows
And did it my way!
Yes it was my way
