My Way

And now the end is near
And so I'm gonna face the final curtain
Oh my friend, I'm gonna say it clear
I'll state my case of which I'm certain

Oh, I've lived, I lived life that's full
I traveled each, each and every highway
And more, much more than this
I did it my way (my way)

Regrets, I've had a few
But then again, too few to mention
Oh, I did whatever I had to do
And I saw it through without an ounce of exemption
I planned, I planned each charted course
Each careful step as I went along, as I went along the byway
Oh, but more, much more than this
I did it my way (my way)

Oh, 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
Let the record shows I took the blows
And I did it my way

Oh, I've loved, I've laughed and cried
I've had my fill, my share of losing
And now, and now, as tears subside
I find it all so amusing

To think, when I think I did all that
And may I say to you, not in a shy way
Oh no, oh no, not me
'Cause I did it my way (my way)

Oh, 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
Let the record shows I took the blows
And I did it my way

To think, oh, to think I did all this
And may I say, may I say not in a shy way
Oh no, oh no, not me
I did it my way
