And now, the end is here
And 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 traveled each and ev'ry 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 exemption
I planned each charted course,
each careful step along the
byway
And more, much more than this, I
did it my way
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
I've loved, I've laughed and cried
I've had my fill, my share 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, oh, no, not me, I did it
my way"
For 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!
Yes, it was my way
