My Way 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 every highway, And more, much more than this, I did it my way. Regrets I have a few, but then again, too few to mention, I did what I had to do, and saw it thru' without exception, I planned each chartered course, Each careful step along the by-way. 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 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 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
