Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You guessed it folks
[Verse 2]
And now the end is near
If you know the words sing
Or if you don't show up and some crap
The final curtain
My friends, I'll see it clear
And state my case, on which I'm certain
I've lived a life that's full
I've traveled each and every highway
C'mon
And more
Everybody
(Much 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
And saw it through
Without exemption
I planned each charted course
Each careful step
Along the by way
And more
Much more than this
(I did it my way)
[Verse 4]
Yes there were times
I'm sure you knew
When I bit off
More than I could chew
And through it all when there was doubts
I ate it up
And spit it out
I faced it all
And I stood tall
And did it my way
[Verse 5]
I've loved, I've laughed and cried
I'll had my share
My fill 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 (Everybody!)
(Much more than this)
(I did it my way)
[Verse 6]
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
Let the records show
I took the blow
And did it my way
[Verse 7]
I did it my way
[Verse 8]
Mum
This is your son singing
I love you
Thanks everybody goodnight
