MY WAY

And now the end is near
And 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 fool
I traveled each and every highway
And more, much more that this
I did it my way
Regrets, I had a few
But the again, too few to mention
I did what I had to do
And saw it through without exemption
I planned each chartered course
Each careful step along the byway
And more, much more that this
I did it my way
Yes, there were times I’m sure you knew
When I bit off more that 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 laughed; I’ve laughed and cry
I had my fill, 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
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 things he truly feels
And not the words of one who kneels
The record shows; I took the blow
And did it my way
Yes, it was my way
