My Way

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 traveled each and ev'ry 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 charted course
 Each careful step along the byway
 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

 What is a man, what has he got
 If not himself then he has not
 To say the words he truly feels
 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
