And now the end is near
And so I face the final curtain
My friend Ill say it clear
I\'ll state my case
of which Im certain
I\'ve lived a life thats full
I\'ve traveled each and evry 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 charted course
Each careful step along the byway
But 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 Ive 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 naught
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
