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 full

I traveled each and every 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 exception

I planned each chartered course

Each careful step alone the by way

And 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 face it all and I stood tall

And did it my way.

I've loved, I've laughed and cried

I've had my fill my share of loosing

And the now as tears subside

I find it all so amusing

To think I did all that and my 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 not

To say the things he truly feels

And not the words of one who kneels
