And now the end is near, and so I face the final curtain
my freind 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
Regrets, I've had a few but then again, too few to mention
I did what I had to do. I saw it through without exemption
I planned each charted 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 faced it all and I stood tall
I did it my way
I've loved, I've laughed and cried. I had my fill, my share of losing
but 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 has naught to say the things
he truly feels and not the words of one who kneels
the record shows I took the blows
I did it my way
Yes, it was my way
