My Way (Live)

Thank you very much

About a month and a half ago

I received the biggest kick in my career

I wrote a song for a new singer

His name was Frank Sinatra

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

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 exemption

I planned each charted course

Each careful step along the byway

But more, much more than this

I did it my way

Yes, there were times, I'm sure you know

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, Iaughed and cried

Had my fill, my share of losing

And now as the 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, no not me

I did it my way

For what is a man, what has he got?

If not himself, then he has not

To say all the things he truly feels

And not the words of one who kneels

The record shows I took the blows

But I did it my way
