|
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
