And now the end is near

And so I face my final curtain

Friend I'll say it clear

State my case

Of which I'm certain

I've lived a life that's full

Traveled each and every highway

But 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

Saw it through

Without exemption

I planned each charted course

Each every more along the byway

And more 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

The record shows

I took the blows

And did it my way
