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
To think I did all that
And may I say,
not in a shy way,
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!
Yes, it was my way...
