Lyrics
[Verse 1]
We will now do the national anthem
But you needn't rise
[Verse 2]
And now the end is near
And so I face the final curtain
My friend, I'll make it clear
I'll state my case of which I'm certain
I've lived a life that's full
Traveled each and every highway
And more, more than this
I did it my way
[Verse 3]
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 byway
And more, more than this
I did it my way
[Verse 4]
Yes, there were times
I guess you knew
When I bit off more than I could chew
But with it all, when there was doubt
I ate it up then spit it out
I grew tall, through it all
And did it my way
[Verse 5]
I've loved, Iaughed and cried
I had my fill
My share of losing
But 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, not me
I did it my way
[Verse 6]
For what is a man? What has he got?
If not himself, then he has naught
To say the things he truly feels
And not the words of one who kneels
The record shows I took the blows
And I did it my way
My way
