My way 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 traveled each and every highway But 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 But 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 “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
