And now, the end is near
And so I face the final curtain
My friends, I'll say it clearI'll state my case of which I'm certainI've lived a life that's fullI traveled each and every highwayBut more, much more than thisI did it my way
Regrets, I've had a fewBut then again, too few to mentionI did what I had to doAnd saw it through without exemptionI planned each chartered courseEach careful step along the bywayBut more, much more than thisI did it my way
Yes, there were times, I'm sure you knewWhen I bit off more than I could chewBut through it all, when there was doubtI ate it up and spit it outI faced it all and I stood tallAnd did it my way
I've loved, laughed and criedI've had my fill, my share of losingAnd now, as tears subsideI find it all so amusingTo think I did all thatAnd may I say, not in a shy wayOh no, no, not meI did it my way
For what is a man, what has he gotIf not himself then he has notTo say all the things he truly feelsAnd not the words of one who kneelsThe record shows, I took the blowsBut I did it my way
