My Way [The Frank Sinatra Collection]

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
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
