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 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 so it thru 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 thru 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
