My Way (Live)

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 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 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 The record shows, I took the blows And did it my way I've loved, I've laughed and cried I've had my tears and my share of 'boozing' And now, as tears subside I find it all so confusing To think I did all that And may I say - not in a shy way 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 show the world all stormy hills And not the words of one who kneels The record shows, I took the blows And did it my way The record shows, I took the blows And did it my way, my way
