My Way

Song: My Way Artist: Frank Sinatra 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 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 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 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 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 Rebecca Lin 2012 Spring In USA

Michael, so glad to hear from you. How have you been? Thanks for your insightful comments and for sharing the story behind the song. I found the French song "Comme d'habitude" which "My Way" 's music was based on it. http://blog.wenxuecity.com/myblog/10172/201204/8147.html
Have a nice Spring,
Rebecca

Thank you for posing this beautiful introspective song.I sing it a lot in my shower.
Here I'd like to share the story behind the genesis of this song which was started by Paul Anka in his travel in France back in 1967 .... and the full story can be found here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/My_Way_%28song%29.
Paul Anka borrowed the melody and wrote the lyrics for Frank Sinatra who popularized it as though he was telling the world his own life story.
So this song is a collaboration from various talents. Not truly "my way" as suggested.
Great song. Good taste.
Best regards,
Michael

很喜欢这两首歌曲 , my way 及 stranger in the night ,
谢谢分享 , 我应该是看过他的电影的,久远的事记不起了,
他好像获得过金像奬的最佳配角,饰演二次大战时的号角兵,
电影名字中译是[红粉忠魂未了情],他与另一位黑人歌星小森
美戴维斯,及另一影坛名人组成了鼠队,是很有名气的.
