My Way

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 travelled each and every 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 chartered course Each careful step along the byway And 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 faces 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 now as 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
