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  
Just 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
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 my way
