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 travelled each and ev'ry 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 thru 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 thru it all when there was doubt
I ate it up and spit it out
I faced it all and I stood tall
And dit 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 it 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 not
To say the things he truly feels
And not the words of one who kneels
The record shows I took the blows
And dit it My Way.
