And now, the end is near And so I’m gonna face that final curtain Oh my friend, I’m gonna say it clear I'll state my case, of which I'm certain Oh, I've lived, I've lived a life that's full I've traveled each, each and every highway And more, much more than this I did it my way [my way]
Regrets, I've had a few But then again, too few to mention Oh, I did whatever I had to do And I saw it through without exemption I planned [I planned] each charted course Each careful step as I walk along the byway Oh but more, much more than this I did it my way [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 !
Oh, I've loved, I've laughed and I cried I've had my fill my share of losing And now, and now as tears subside I find it all so amusing To think I did all that And may I say to you - not in a shy way "Oh no, oh no not me” Cause I did it my way [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!
To think, ohI 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
