Lyrics
[Verse 1]
And now, the end is near
And so I face the final curtain
My friend, I'll say it clear
I'll state my case, of which I'm certain
[Verse 2]
I've lived a life that's full
I've traveled each and ev'ry highway
But more, 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
[Verse 4]
I planned each charted course
Each careful step along the 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]
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 did it my way!
[Verse 7]
Yes, I did it my way
