And now the end is near

And so I face the final curtain

My friends I say it clear

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

I've loved a life that's full

I've travelled each and every highway

And more much more than this

I did it my way



Regrets I had a few

But then again too few to mention

I did what I had to do

And saw it through without excemption

I planned each chattered course

Each careful stap along the highway

And more much more than that

I did it my way



Yes there were times

I'm sure you knew

When I bit more off then I could chew

But through it all when there was doubt

I ate it up and spitt 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 himelf than he has not

To say the words he truly feels

And not the words of one who kneels

The record shows I took the blows

And did it my way
