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 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
To few to mention
I did what I had to do
And saw it 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 spat it out
I faced it all
And I stood tall
And I did it my way
I’ve laughed
I’ve laughed I 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 than 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 Did It My
Way
