And now
The end is near
And so I face
The final curtain.
My friend, I will say it clear,
I will state my case
Of which I am certain.
I have lived a life that is full,
I traveled each and every highway.
And more,
Much more than this
I did it my way...
Regrets, I have a few,
But then again, too few to mention.
I did what I had to do,
I saw it through, without exemption.
I planned each charted course,
Each careful step on the byway.
And more,
Much more than this
I did it my way...
Yes, there were times
I am 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 spited it out.
I faced it all.
And I stood tall.
And did it my way...
I have loved,
I have laughed and cried,
And 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...
