And now the end is near
And so I face the final curtain
My friend, I ll make it clear
I ll state my case of which I m certain
I ve lived a life that s full
I ve travelled each and every highway
And more, much more than this
I did it my way
Re-grets, I ve had a few
But then again, too few to men-tion
I did what I had to do
And saw it through without exemption
I planned each charted course
Each careful step along the by way
And more, much more than this
I did it my way
(refrão)
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 fails, my share of loosing
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 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.
