My Way

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.
