My Way

And now the end is near 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've 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 charted course Each careful step along the byway Oh,

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 faced 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 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,

no,

not me I did it my way For what is a man,

what has he got?

If not himself,

then he has naught 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 The record shows I took the blows And did it my way
