My Way

And now the end is near

And so I face that final curtain

My friend, I'll make it clear

I'll state my case of which I am certain

I've lied a life that's full

I traveled each and every highway

And more, much more

I did it, 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, much more

I did it, I did it my way

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

When I bit off more than I could chew

And through it all, whenever there was doubt

I ate it up and spit out

I faced it all and I stood tall

And did it, did it my way

I've loved, laughed and cried

I've had my fill, my share of losing

And now as the tears subside

I find that it's all so amusing

And to think I did all that

And may I say, not in a shy way

No no, not me

I did it my way

For what is a man, what has he got?

If not himself, then he has naught

Not to say the things that he truly feels

And not the words of someone who kneels

Let records show I took all the blows

And did it my way
