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 know 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 fails 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 not To say the all the things be truly feels And not the words he would reveal The record shows I took the blows But i did it my way
