Lyrics
And now the end is near
So I face the final curtain My friend, I’ll say it clear I’ll state my case of which I’m certainI’ve lived a life that’s full
I’ve traveled each and every highway And more, much more than this I did it my wayRegrets, I’ve had a few
But then again, too few to mention I did what I had to do And saw it through without exceptionI planned each charted course
Each careful step along the byway And more, much more than this I did it my wayYes, there were times, I’m sure you know
That 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 faced it all and I stood tall And did it my wayI’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 all that And may I say, not in a shy way Oh, no, no not me I did it my wayFor what is a man, what has he got
If not himself, then he has not To say the words he truly feels And not the words of one who kneels The record shows I took the blows And did it my way
