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've travelled 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 chartered 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 not To say the things he'd 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 |
