My Way Lyrics

Lyrics

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
I saw it through without exemption

I planned each chartered course
Each careful step along the by-way
And more, much 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, oh no not me
I did it my way

For what is a man, what has he got?
If not himself then he has naught
Not to say the things he truly feels
And not the words of one who kneels
Let the record shows I took the blows
And did it my way
