Lyrics
And now the end is near
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 traveled 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
And saw it through without exception
I planned (I planned)
Each charted course (Each course)
Each careful step (Each careful step)
Along the byway (Along the byway)
Oh, and more, much more than this
I did it my way
Yes, there were times, I'm sure you know
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 loved (I loved)
Laughed and cried (I laughed and cried)
Had my fails (I had my fails)
My share of losing
And now (And now)
As tears subside (As tears subside)
I find it all so amusing (Amusing)
To think (Just to think)
I did all that (All that)
And may I say (You may)
Not in a shy way
Oh, no (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
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
