My Way

And now the end is near And so I face the final curtain

My friends I'll say it clear

I'll state my case of which I'm certain

I've lived a life that's fully traveled each and every high-way

And more much more than this I did it my way

Regrets I've had a few butt then again too few to mention

I did what I had to do I saw it through without exemption

I planned each chartered course

Each careful step along the by-way

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

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

It not himself then he has not 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
