And now, the end is near; And so I face the final curtain. My friend, Ill make it clear, Ill state my case, of which I am certain.
I've lived a life thats full. Ive traveled each and every highway; And more, much more, i did it, I did it my way.
Regrets, Ive had a few; But then again, too few to mention. I did what I had to do I saw it through without exemption.
I planned each charted course; Each careful step along the byway, And more, much much more, I did it my way.
Yes, there were times, Im 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.
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!
