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
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 lived, a life that's full I traveled, each and every highway And more, much more than this I 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
Yes there were times, I'm sure you knew When I bit off, more than I could chew And 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 planned, each charted course Each careful step, along the byway And more, much more than this I did it my way
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
