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 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 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
