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've 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 Than he has naugth 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
