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 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 then without exemption.

I planned each chartered course,

each careful step along the byway...

...Yes, there were times, I´m sure you knew,

when I bit off more than I could chew but thru it all,

when there was doubt, I ate it up and spit it out.

I face it all, and I stood tall and...

...I´ve loved, I´ve laughed and cried,

I´ve had my fill, my share of losing.

And now, as tears subside, I find it all so amusing.

To think I did it all that, and may I say "Not in a skyway".

Oh no, oh no, not me...

...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 world of one who kneels.

The record shows I took the blows...

NEW YORK, NEW YORK

Start spreadin´ the news: I´m leaving today.

I want to be a part of it, New York, New York.

These vagabond shoes are longing to stray

right through the very hard of it...

...I wanna wake up in the city that doesn´t sleep,

and find I´m king of the hill, top of the heap.

These little town blues are melting away,

I´ll make a brand new start of it in old New York.

If I can make it there, I´ll make it anyware.

It´s up to you...I wanna wake up in the city that never sleeps

and find I´m a number one, top of the list...
