My Way

And now the end is near

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 exception

I planned (I planned)

Each charted course (Each course)

Each careful step (Each careful step)

Along the byway (Along the byway)

Oh, and 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 loved (I loved)

Laughed and cried (I laughed and cried)

Had my fails (I had my fails)

My share of losing

And now (And now)

As tears subside (As tears subside)

I find it all so amusing (Amusing)

To think (Just to think)

I did all that (All that)

And may I say (You may)

Not in a shy way

Oh, no (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 not

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

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
