And now, the end is near; And so I face the
final curtain. My friend, Ill say it clear, Ill state my case, of which Im
certain.
Ive lived a life thats full. Ive traveled each and evry
highway; And more, much more than this, I did it my way.
Regrets,
Ive 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, But more, much more than
this, I did it my way.
Yes, there were times, Im 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.
Ive loved, Ive laughed and cried. Ive 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, 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!
