And now the end is near
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 every highway
Oh more,much more than this
I did my way
Regrets,I've had a few
But then again,too few to mention
I did what I had to do
So I saw it through without exception
I planned each charted course
Each careful step along the byway
Oh,and more,much more than this
I did 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 I did 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,no not me
I did my way
Oh what is a man,what has he got?
If not himself,then he has naught
To say the words he truly feels
And not the words of one who kneels
The record shows I took the blows
And I did my way
The record shows I took the blows
And I did my way
