So 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 exception I planned each chartered course Each careful step alone the by way 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 face 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 loosing And the now as tears subside I find it all so amusing To think I did all that and my 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 The record shows I took the blows And did it my way
