My way
And now, the end is nearAnd so I face the final curtainMy friend, I'll say it clearI'll state my case of which I'm certain
I've lived a live that's fullI travelled each and every highwayAnd more, much more than this, I did it my wayRegrets, I've had a fewBut then again, too few to mentionI did what I had to doAnd saw it through without exemptionI planned each chartered courseEach careful step along the bywayAnd more, much more than this, I did it my wayYes there were times, I'm sure you knewWhen I bit off more than I could chew
But through it all, when there was doubtI ate it up, and spit it outI faced it all, and I stood tallAnd did it my way
I've loved, I've laughed and criedI've had my fill, my share of losingAnd now, as tears subsideI find it all so amusing
To think, I did all that, and--may I sayNot in a shy way"Oh no, oh no not meI did it my way"
For what is a man? what has he got?If not himself, then he has naughtTo say the things he truly feelsAnd not the words of one who kneelsThe record shows, I took the blowsAnd did it my way
Yes, it was my way
