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

Regret I've 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 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 losing

And now as tears subside I'll 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 has 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

Yes it was my way.

I believe that children are our future

Teach them well and let them lead the way

Show them all the beauty they possess inside

Give them a sense of pride

To make it easier

Let the children's laughter

Remind us how we used to be

Everybody's searching for a hero

People need someone to look up to

I never found anyone who fulfilled my needs

A lonely place to be

And so I learned to depend on me

I decided long ago 

Never to walk in anyone's shadow

If I fail if I succeed

At least I'll live as I believe

No matter what they take from me

They can't take away my dignity

Because of greatest

Love of all is happening to me

I've found the greatest love of all inside of me

The greatest love of all is easy to achieve

Learning to love yourself

It is the greatest love of all

And if by chance that special place

That you've been dreaming of

Leads you to a lonely place

Find your strength in love.

I see trees are green

Red roses too

I see them bloom

For me and you

And I think to myself

What a wonderful world

I see skies are blue and clouds so white

The brightest day the dark says goodnight

And I say to myself

What a wonderful world

The colours of the rainbow so pretty in the sky

And also on the faces

Of people going by

I see friends shaking hands

Say how do you do

They really say I love you

I hear babies cry

I watch the grow

They learn much more

And I'll never know

And I think to myself

What a wonderful world

Yes I think to myself

What a wonderful world.
