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've traveled 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 charted 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 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 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, '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...
