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 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 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

For what is a man,what has he got?

If not himself, then he has naught

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
