Lyrics

[Verse 1]
And now the end is near
And so I face the final curtain
My friends, I'll say it clear
And state my case, of which I'm certain
[Verse 2]
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, my way
[Verse 3]
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 exemption
[Verse 4]
And I planned each charted course
Each careful step along life's byway
And more, much more than this
I did it my way
[Verse 5]
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 spit it out
I faced it all and I stood tall
And did it my way
[Verse 6]
I loved, I laughed, I cried
Had my fills, my share of losing
And now as tears subside
I find it all so amusing
[Verse 7]
Just 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
[Verse 8]
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
[Verse 9]
To say the things he truly feels
And not the
The record shows I took the blows
And did it my, my way
