And 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'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 exemption.

I planned each chartered course
Each careful step along the byway
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, 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.

And did it my way...
