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
my way
regrets
i've
had a few but then again too few to mention
i did what i had to do and sought through without exemption
i planned each chartered 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 and 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
not
, 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 had not
to say the thing
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
