My Way

And now

The end is near

And so I got to face

The final curtain, girl

Friends

I'll say it clear

And state my case of which I'm certain

I've lived

A life that's full

Of travelled each

And every highway

And more

Much more than this

I did it my way

Yes, 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 charted course

Each careful footstep

Along the byway, yeah

But more, much more than this

I did it my way

Yes, there were times

I'm sure you knew

When I bit off

Much more than I chew

But through it all

When there was doubt

I ate it up

And spat it out

I faced it all

And I still recall

And did my way

I've laughed and cried

I've had my fill

My share of losing

And now

As tears subside

Counted it out to music

To think

Like the old lad

And may I say

Not in a sly way

Oh, no, no, no

No, not me

I did it my way

Oh, what is a man?

What has he got?

If not himself

And he had heart

To say the things

He truly feels

Not the words

Of one for use

The record shows

I took the blows

And did it my way
