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've 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 planned each chartered 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
then he has not
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
And did it my way
