My Way

And now, the end is near
And so I face the final curtain
My friends, 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 I 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 I spit it out
I faced it all, and I stood tall
And did it my way

I've loved, I've laughed, and I've cried
I've had my fill, my share of losing
And now, 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
But to say the things he truly feels
And not the words of one who kneels
Let the record show, I took all the blows
I did it my way

Yes, it was my way
