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 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 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 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
