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
But 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 exception
I planned each charted course
Each careful step along the by way
But more, much more than this
I did it my way

I've loved
I've laughed and cried
I've had my fill
My share of losing
And now, as my tears subside
I find it all just so amusing
To think that I did all that
And may I say not in a shy way
No, oh no, not me
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
