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 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 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 not

To say all 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
