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 exemption

I've planned each chartered course each careful step along the byway

And more much more than this I 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 that in a shy way

Oh no oh no not me I did it my way

The record shows I took the blows and did it my way
