Song Lyrics

And now, the end is near
And so I face the final curtain
My friends, 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 (traveled every highway)
And more, much more than this (more)
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 through without exemption

I planned each charted course
Each careful step along the byway (step along the byway)
And more, much more than this (more)
I did it my way

Yes, there were times (there were times), I'm sure you knew
When I bit off more than I could chew (bit off more than I could chew)
And through it all, when there was doubt (ah ah ah ah)
I ate it up and spit it out (ah ah)
I faced it all and I stood tall
And did it my way

I've loved, and laughed and cried
I 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 (say not in a shy way)
Oh no, oh no, not me (no)
I did it my way

For what is a man (is a man), what has he got
If not himself, then he has naught (himself, then he has naught)
To say the things he truly feels (ah ah)
And not the words of one who kneels (ah ah)
The record shows I took the blows (ah ah)
And did it my way (my way)
