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
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 charted course
Each careful step along the byway
And more, much more than this
I did it my way

Yes, there wеre times
I'm sure you knеw
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 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
