And now the end is near and so I face the final curtain My friends 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 so it through without exemption I planned each chartered course each careful step along the by way 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 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 What is a man what has he got if not himself then 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
