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 ev'ry highway
And more much more
than this
I did it my way
Regrets I've had
a few
And 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
But 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, 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
