Song Lyrics

And now, the end is near
And so I face the final curtain
Yeah, my friends, I'll say it clear
I'll state my case of which I'm certain

Don't you know I've lived a life that's full, yeah, it was full
I traveled each and every highway
And more, much more than this
Don't you know I did it my way

Yeah, regrets, I've had a few
But then again, too few to mention
I did what I had to do
And I saw it through without exemption
And you know I planned each charted course
Each careful step along the byway
And more, much more than this
I did it my way

You know I've loved, I've laughed and cried
And you know I've had my fill, my share of losing
But now as my tears subside
I gotta tell you I find it so amusing
I mean to think I did all that
And may I say not in a shy way
Oh no, oh no, not me
I just did it my way

For what is a man, what has he got?
If not himself, then he has naught
I mean to say the things not he truly feels
And not the words of one who kneels
The record shows, let them show that I took the blows
Got knows I did it my way, did it my way
The record shows that I did it my way
I did it my way
