And now the end is near
And so I face the final curtain
My friend,
I'll set it clear
I'll stay in 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 had a few But then again,
too few to mention
I did
what I had to do And so it's true,
without exemption
I planned each chartered 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 felt more than I could chew
But through it all,
when there was doubt I hit it up and I spilled it out
I faced it all
and I stood tall
And did it my way
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 was this a man?
What has he got?
If not himself,
then he was not
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
