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 ev´ry high way

And more, much more than this, I did it my way.

 

Regrets, I had a few, but then 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 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 split 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 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”, 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 is not

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.

 

Da-da

Da-da-da, da-da-da

Da-da, da-da

Da-da-da, da-da-da

Da-da, da-da

Da-du-da, du-da-da

Da-da, da-da

Da-du-da, du-da-da

Da-da, da-da

Da-du-da, du-da-da

 

I did it my way!
