And now, the end is near And so I face that 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 Don’t you know? 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
I've loved, I've laughed and cried I've had my fill my share of losing And now, as my tears subside I gotta tell you, 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 just 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 God knows I did it my way I did it my way Yes, I did it my way
