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 travelled 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 exception.
I planned each charted course,
each careful step along the byway,
but more,
much more than this, I did it my way.
I've lived a life that's full,
I've travelled each and every highway and more,
much more
than this, I did it my way.
I've loved,
I've loved 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, no, not me,
I did it my way.
