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
|
I've lived a life that's full
|
I traveled each
|
and every 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 exception
|
I planned each chartered course
|
Each careful step
|
alone the by way
|
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 face 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 loosing
|
And the now as tears subside
|
I find it all so amusing
|
To think I did all that
|
and my 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 not
|
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
|
|
