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 travelled 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 chartered course
Each careful step along the by way
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 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
Yes it was my way
