My Way

And now the end is near
And so I face the final curtain
My friends, I'll state it clear
I'll state my case of which I'm certain
I've lived a life that's full
I've travelled each and every high way
And more, much more than this
I did it my way

Regrets I've had a few
but then again too few too mention
I did what I had to do
And saw it through without exemption
I planned each charted course
Each careful step along 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 threw 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 laughed, I've loved 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

............
Yes it was my way
