My Way

And now, the end is near And so I face the final curtain My friend, I'll say it clear And I 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, 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 And I planned each charted course Each careful step along life's 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 loved, I laughed, I cried Had my fill, my share of losing And now, as tears subside I find it all so amusing Just 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 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, my way
