And now the end is near
and so I face the final curtain
My friends 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 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.
