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.
|
And through it all, when there was doubt,
|
I ate it up and spat 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 -
